Seller's Story

Now browse and search through my auctions to find the unexpected! Over the last 40 years, I have been collecting silver Works of Art. Carefully selecting every single piece that speaks for its rarity, provenance, historical significance, excellent craftsmanship, functional peculiarity and harmonious proportions... Time has now come to release them back into the market, so that new generations of demanding collectors and individuals that - just like me - love to surround themselves with items with character can enjoy them as much as I did. I photograph them honestly and describe them to the best of my knowledge. Good luck to your bids!!!
