Our catalogue > Gold
Here we present gold objects from India, Indonesia, China, Sri Lanka, the Himalayas, and the like.
Provenance is important and so all our gold items have been sourced from within the UK, often from old, colonial-era collections.
Each piece is for sale, and each has been selected for its artistic merit, patina and provenance.
Do sign-up for our regular catalogues so you can see new additions to our stock as they arrive.
