Duncan comments:
west country n 2001 and has had a spec al st ant que s lver shop n Bath s nce 2010 After 12 years of reta l, t was t me for a change:
“I have always had a hanker ng to put on a really good s lver sale and so the opportun ty to host a spec al st s lver collectors’ auct on at Dore & Rees, alongs de all my Ant ques Roadshow fr ends, s too good a prospect to pass up. ”
"S nce before the Romans, Greeks or Anc ent Egypt ans, s lver has been cons dered the most treasured form of appl ed art by v rtually every culture on earth Un que n the world of ant ques, s lver s guaranteed by law S m larly, the hallmark on s lver makes the maker, date and or g n a matter of fact and not a subject for op n on. S lver s, qu te l terally, made out of money and so ts makers and owners take t very ser ously ndeed. At ts best, a collect on of s lver clearly shows the cultural, art st c and econom c h story of our c v l sat on. "
