Silver is the trend says Barbara Chandler in the Evening Standard

Homes and Property (28 November 2012).

‘Silvery rooms are bang on trend. Ditch the red for winter white. Very Ralph Lauren. Metallic surfaces make a virtue of weak winter light. Choose shimmering wallcoverings, silvery lamp bases and pendants in chrome/pewter/glass. Wrap up in faux fur throws and hang large mirrors in ornate silver frames.’

Well, it just so happens that in the London Silver Vaults Seasonal Sparkle Christmas Gift  display right now there are three brilliant examples of Barbara's suggestions which you can buy. There’s a large decorated self-standing mirror and a silver electric table lamp. And these are both Edwardian so they pack an extra punch when it comes to value. And look fabulous. There is also a rather elegant late Victorian mirror (pictured here). More details in the Exhibition Catalogue on the website. 

Special Festive Shopping Day: Next Wednesday December 5 we are open late (till 8) and we have drinks and canapés and jolly music lined up to make your visit extra special. And there’s a glass of bubbly free if you book to eat at the Chancery Restaurant in Cursitor Street further down Chancery Lane and whisper the magic words Silver Vaults.
