Furniture
There is an essential elegance to a fine handcrafted piece of furniture that is missing from most
modern furniture. The correct proportions, the fine materials and the cabinet makers art are simply
not considerations in modern furniture.
And while self-assembly might be cheap, it is also disposable, whereas a two hundred year old piece
cannot help but gain in value as time goes by.

Silverware
The English 'Hallmark' is the oldest consumer protection device in the world. It displays the
quality of the piece, the name of the manufacturer and the year of manufacture.
It is rather sad that these devices have not been adopted more globally, but nothing can detract
from the brilliance of fine Sterling.

Clocks & Timepieces
People have always had a certain fascination with antique clocks, mainly because their modern
counterparts simply cannot compare with the exquisite detailing and delightful chimes of their
fore-runners.
From 18th Century English long-case clocks to French ormulu-mounted mantle-clocks,
we have the right timepiece for any discerning collector.
