Hidden beneath Chancery Lane, in the heart of London’s jewellery and traditional silversmithing district, The London Silver Vaults is the home of silver shopping. Open to the public, it boasts the largest selection of fine antique, modern and contemporary silverware in the world. This destination is a treasure trove of beautifully crafted silver and silver-plated wares dating from the 1600s to the present day.
From silver tableware and decorative pieces to fine jewellery and rare collectors’ items, each dealer has a wealth of expertise and is a specialist in their field. The shops are independent and unique to The London Silver Vaults, and some have been family-owned for three or four generations, so every visit is an experience and a chance to immerse yourself in the fascinating world of silver.
Silver, one of the rarest metals in the world, is beautiful, of lasting value and every piece tells a story
In today’s throwaway society silver endures. No other metal compares to silver for colour and sparkle, but as well as being beautiful its malleability means this precious metal can be fashioned into the most intricate forms, pieces which have become heirlooms as they are passed down through generations. Its rarity and beauty are only matched by its practicality; silver conducts heat brilliantly, stays hot or cold longer and its durability will last the centuries. No wonder people have chosen it to grace palaces, cathedrals and their homes for thousands of years.
