Silver Collectors' Dream AuctionThe collection of a deceased gentleman. This collection was put together from the late 1970's (when the collector spent five and a half years in Hong Kong) and was continued until 2014. Among the first things collected were English silver dog nose spoons. Pieces were acquired from antique fairs and auctions and if something took his fancy he would collect it. The Russian silver was collected during the 1990's, the collection was started gradually and inexpensively and built up from there.
