Bonhams Silver Department holds auctions throughout the year, offering antique through to post-war and contemporary silver, with sales held at our two London salerooms, New Bond Street and Knightsbridge, as well as Edinburgh, Los Angeles and Marlborough, Massachusetts.
Auctions regularly feature British, American and Continental silver, hollow-ware, flat-ware, and a wide variety of other themes to include objects of vertu, gold boxes and early spoons.
We have dedicated sales focusing on Decorative Art and Design, featuring designers and makers from the Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, Art Deco periods, as well as post-war and contemporary works.
We hold the record for a piece of contemporary silver to come to auction: Animus, a work by Kevin Grey in 2017.
Our dedicated team of specialists offer a personal and confidential service in both the acquisition and selling of collections or individual items, and access to our global programme of services to be sure of obtaining the best results.
