SILVER IN THE STUDY

The study is a bolt-hole, for the writer, the loafer and the reader. The London Silver Vaults Spring 2010 selling exhibition runs until the end of May. It offers the smart study (or den or office) some fabulous Victorian, Edwardian and C20th desk accessories in silver such as inkstands (like this glass and silver owl), blotters, paper knives, pen trays, Victorian propelling pencils, tapersticks (small candlesticks for reading) and a late Victorian electric silver lamp. Bookmarks and bookends lend a library air. For after-dinner there are drinks trays, goblets, and decanters, as well as bridge sets or board games, even silver dice and sports trophies to reminisce over. There are over 70 exhibits and prices range from around £30 to £10,000. See the highlights in our new Picture Gallery.
