In the world of antique silver, the name Peter Cameron is synonymous with quality, scholarship, and expertise. This collection contains some of the finest pieces of silver encountered outside of a museum.

Lots in the sale span centuries, from the 1600s through to the modern day, with their origins in England and Europe, and from places further afield, such as Asia and Africa, too.

Peter Cameron has traded as a specialist in antique silver for fifty-two years. Peter is a Freeman of the Goldsmiths’ Company in London, and was a long-serving member of the Antique Plate Committee (subsequently, the Hallmarking Authentication Committee), an internationally renowned body, that adjudicates and advises on the authenticity of British silver.  After studying history at Peterhouse, Cambridge, Peter Cameron began researching and dealing in antique silver in 1974. On his maternal side, the family's involvement in the silver and jewellery trade dates back to the early 1800s, with a great-grandfather joining Lambert’s of Coventry Street in 1848, and a great-great-uncle founding London and Ryder at 17 New Bond Street in 1850.
