Silver

Silver has been sold at 25 Blythe Road within Matthew Barton Ltd’s series of auctions since November 2009.

The silver section forms a considerable part of the biannual European and Asian Works of Art sales. Matthew Barton started in the silver department at Sotheby’s over thirty years ago and brings his experience to bear on a rich variety of items spanning from early spoons to 20th century designed pieces. As well as catering to the dedicated collector, the department affords opportunities to buyers at all levels.
