William Walter Antiques Ltd

About

William Walter Antiques

William Walter founded his own antique silver company in the 1930s with a showroom in King Street, St James’s, in the West End of London.

Some ten years later the showroom suffered wartime bombing and he was forced to close the business and store his valuable silver stock in the safe deposit in Chancery Lane.

At the end of the war he was one of the first silver dealers to set up showrooms in the now famous London Silver Vaults, where they are still based.

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.
