Our Curation Philosophy
Small silver objects were often the most personal possessions of their owners. We look for pieces that show the skill of the silversmith in miniature, where every detail counts.
We prioritise:
- Intricate engraving and design details
- Working mechanisms (hinges, clasps, springs)
- Clear hallmarks and maker attribution
- Diversity of function and form
We aim to curate a collection that surprises and delights, revealing the incredible variety of small silver objects made over the last two centuries.

Curation is carried out by a qualified MNAVA valuer, ensuring confidence, accuracy, and consistency.
