On January 23, Gorringe’s in Lewes, East Sussex, will offer The Collyer Collection of antique silver, assembled over 20 years by a single collector.
The 360-lot sale, which has been consigned by the collector’s family, ranges from early Georgian pieces through to the Arts & Crafts period. Included is this Edwardian Arts & Crafts gem set planished silver cup and cover, by the Guild of Handicrafts, and possibly from a design by Charles Robert Ashbee (1863-1942).
