The Silver category includes a wonderful variety of items whose common feature is that they are all fashioned in silver. These include candlesticks, tea and coffee pots, cutlery sets and paper knives. Also tureens, samovars, candelabra, items of evening-wear jewellery and caskets. Silver goods have been held in high regard since time immemorial – so much so that, in Egypt, silver was once even more prized than gold.
