Silver
Silver is sold every month alongside the jewellery, and always includes a selection of antique and contemporary items from all over the world, but one of the main investment areas is currently in Oriental silver, which is experiencing growing demand from buyers in this country and the Far East.
The majority of silver items are bought online via our live internet bidding platforms, which makes high quality photographs and detailed descriptions essential.
The price of silver bullion fluctuates regularly, but it's always in high demand from private collectors, dealers and investors.
