Contemporary silver, ceramics and glass sit very well within private collections of otherwise wall-hung art. Private collectors have, throughout history, purchased metal work, glass and ceramics to bolster the themes of their two dimensional art collections and to provide interest for themselves and their guests on dining tables, lamp tables and display cabinets.

The collecting of objects has since moved on in two important ways. First, it is now possible to use more dynamic display techniques to show off the work. Secondly, we have the great advantage of having access to the globe’s best makers – from Japanese artists working in silver such as Hiroshi Suzuki to British-Nigerian silversmith Ndidi Ekubia to German ceramicist Thomas Bohle and the Art Deco period’s major players, such as Lalique.

We work with design studios to create modes of display that ensure that glass or ceramic works are secure and set off to their best effect. We advise our clients and their households about upkeep, to ensure that important contemporary and antique silver sculptures can be kept looking as good as they did the day they were purchased.
