Antique and collector's silver

Arcadia Casa d'Aste specialises in the sale of silver and precious collectibles. The Department dedicated to silver auctions has consolidated its position as a market leader and a reference point for collectors for many years, thanks to Silvia Vallini Celesti, an expert in antique silver and the person who supervises this section. The Antique and Collectors' Silver Department regularly organises sales of Italian and international silver, presenting a wide selection of rare and valuable items.
Our silver sales, which are held twice a year, represent an extraordinary collection of silver artefacts, often made by renowned silversmiths that arouse great interest among enthusiasts. What distinguishes the Silvers Department of Arcadia Casa d'Aste is the craftsmanship of the lots offered, their quality of execution, their beauty and origin, often linked to important private collections. To satisfy lovers of silverware, we select for our sales a wide variety of objects, from refined silverware for everyday use, such as soup tureens, cups, trays, coffee pots, sugar bowls, teapots and milk jugs, to cutlery sets, elegant kettles, mugs and glasses, not forgetting ice boxes, champagne flasks, vases and fruit bowls, underplates, goblets and pourers, and much more.

Our silver collectors' catalogues also offer sacred silver objects, including antique Russian and Eastern European icons, candlesticks, crucifixes, monstrances, cartaglories, holy water fonts and other liturgical objects, aimed at a niche of passionate collectors. In addition, our silver auction catalogues also frequently feature decorative silver objects, such as mirrors, frames and présentoirs, candelabra and centrepieces, vanity mirrors and jewellery boxes, and much more. Our experts at Arcadia Auction House carefully select silver objects and extraordinary objets de vertu from the most prestigious maisons and workshops. Thanks to the experience of our silver experts and their meticulousness in selecting lots to be included in silver auction catalogues, these have become must-attend events for Italian and international silver enthusiasts and collectors.
