Exhibitions

British silver has been prized for centuries and to help ensure that this continues the Silver Trust seeks to promote British silversmiths at home and abroad. To help achieve this the Silver Trust exhibited the collection during the summer Parliamentary recess in 1994.The success of that exhibition led to further showings of the collection on an almost annual basis in the United Kingdom as well as in Europe and as far afield as South Africa and the United States.

This has ensured that work of The Silver Trust has become well known to a broad public and many of the silversmiths represented in the collection have received commissions as a result of these annual exhibitions. The exhibitions of the collection have generally received very positive reports from the press and the public.
