I developed a love of antiques from a visit to a local auction house in 2011. After a few months of buying and selling antiques and collectables, I registered as a business, and silver quickly became my speciality. Being something of a magpie, I became drawn to silver, with it's beautiful lustre and natural antibacterial properties. Since then I've strived to offer the best ecommerce experience, and we pride ourselves on value for money and exceptional service with every sale.
