About
William Walter Antiques
William Walter was one of the first silver dealers to set up a showroom in the internationally renowned London Silver Vaults which is home to the largest retail collection of fine antique silver in the world. The Vaults originally rented out strong rooms and then transitioned to a setting for silver dealers after World War. In December 2024 we decided to close the showroom, but the wonderful pieces can still be purchased online. If you do want to view items before you buy this can be done but by appointment only. Our collection of sterling antique and contemporary silver includes rare items from the Henry VIII period. We also offer an extensive stock of Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian silverware. Our stock covers the period from Henry VIII to Charles III.
A Family Business
William’s son, Raymond, joined his father in the early fifties, where he gained a wealth of knowledge and experience . Raymond passed this on to his son, John, who began his connection with the company following university in the early eighties, so William Walter Antiques is very much a family business. John is an expert in his field with an encyclopaedic knowledge of Georgian silversmith and their marks.
Stock
William Walter’s stocks a wide selection of fine silver items, including early Georgian silver, a very extensive selection of flatware (cutlery), together with examples of the modern silversmith’s work.
Items for sale range between cutlery/flatware services - a soup tureen, many sizes of salvers, candelabra, candlesticks, wine related items, tea and coffee pots - down to the small – items such as delightful tiny silver teaspoons or wine labels.
