Our Curation Philosophy

Desk and office silver works best when pieces relate naturally to one another over time. Each item is selected not as a standalone object, but as part of a growing collection that reflects use, proportion, and character.

We prioritise:

  • Usability alongside condition
  • Honest wear that reflects age and purpose
  • Variety without repetition
  • Complementary forms and functions

Duplicates are avoided unless they make sense as an intentional pair. The aim is to build a collection that feels cohesive, personal, and considered.


Authentication & Assurance

Every piece included in your Desk & Office Silver collection:

Is genuine antique sterling silver
Has been professionally assessed and curated
Includes a Shropshire Silver certificate of authenticity
Is described clearly and transparently

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