Twenty five lucky people were able to compare the taste of wine drunk from a silver goblet with that of a glass at the Australian Antique and Art Dealers Fair at the White Bay Cruise Terminal in Rozelle last month.

On offer were fine wines provided by Wine Selectors Australia and a variety of fine silver vessels to enable a direct comparison to be made.

September News

Unique Antique, Vintage & Estate Gifts

Roccoco Silver Coffee Pot

The Roccoco art movement began after the reign of King Louis XIV and was the last progression in the baroque period. Originating in France the movement quickly spread across Europe as artists developed a more asymmetrical and fluid approach.

This coffee pot was made in London in 1765, the very end of the Roccoco period, and would make for a memorable Father’s Day gift. Hallmarked TW the pot is finished with a baluster swirl decoration. It is on display in our first-floor silver gallery on Collins Street.

Behruz himself holds this particularly close to his heart, resulting in an unsurprising longevity of relationships with workshops stemming from the late 80s.

Every season, Behruz travels over to our workshops to reconnect with the teams of artisans we work with, and to…
