Biography

Kier has an MA in Cultural History and an MA in Museum Studies, so her focus has always been on the stories behind the objects.

In 2015 she began an internship with Lyon & Turnbull which involved work on a variety of sales including the exciting experience of witnessing the sale of the Massimiliano Soldani-Benzi's stunning bronze Ganymede and the Eagle, achieving a staggering £386,500.

Her main focus now is silver, especially the annual Scottish Silver & Applied Arts auction which always has lots of stories to tell through the interesting objects. Currently working towards her qualifications in gemmology with the Gemmological Association of Great Britain, Kier currently looks after the day to day running of the department, as well as cataloguing and valuing items for sale.
