A collection often starts coincidentally: walking distractedly our gaze falls onto an object
which will be the first one of the collection. It was love at first sight when I saw a Victorian
cup in a flea market, and since then I got passionate to esteemed silver objects.
I soon realized these objects also have sentimental values. Walking around shops, markets and
exhibitions, sometimes looking for something specific, other times wanting to get surprised
by destiny and finding a special piece to fall in love with. The true spark comes not from
adding a new piece to the collection but from the research and the acknowledgment of a
piece and of its value
I started collecting ancient silver objects in 2000. The most ancient objects of my collection are two silver golden cups from Ercole Marelli’s collection in Nurimberg, that date back to 1600. I collect table and parade objects. My collection boast of 32 silver object from 1600, one of these is a cup from Nurimberg that dates back to 1588. Regarding to the year 1700, I own 1757 silver objects such as parade plates and milkjugs made by John Schuppe, a basket made by Paul Store, twelve plates made by Paul Crespine, a 10 pieces tea and coffee service made by Giovan Battista Croff (43 pieces total).
After an accurate research I also found a coffee pot and a sugar bowl. I also own 1276 objects from the era of 1800, such as: oil jug, coffee pot, sugar bowls, salt shaker and various cutlery. There are also 68 objects from 1900: multiple basket, egg cup.
Passion for the objects that come from the past and that surround our history.
Accurate and meticulous research of authentic and esteemed pieces in all kinds of shops and parlors.
Knowledge and acknowledgement of the valuable object, gained through years of study and commit.
