The Silver Collection of Dr Andrew J Rainey
LOTS 665 - 751
Andrew Rainey's life-long passion for collecting silver began at the start of his medical career in Oxford. As a true epicure, his collecting was single minded: entertainment through eating.
He became a consultant histopathologist of increasing repute at The Royal Sussex Hospital in Brighton, and this success was matched by the increasing grandeur of picnic-luncheons and dinners. At these, each piece of Georgian and Regency silver was used exactly as originally intended, and tureen after tureen was purchased to serve ever more elaborate dishes and sauces.
Dr Rainey died in May 2022. It is hoped that these treasured items will impart the same sense of joie de vivre to their new owners.
