Скачать или смотреть The Fiona Buchanan Indian Silver Collection

We are delighted to offer a collection of 19th and early 20th-century Indian silver composed over the last twenty years by Fiona Buchanan in our March 2025 auction of Silver & Objets de Vertu.

Despite having an interest in silver and antiques from an early aged, fueled by trips to the bustling Portobello Road and Edinburgh’s small weekly auctions it took some time to fall on her preferred subject, Indian silver. Fiona’s interest was first in this area piqued after discovering a collection of silver at the Midlothian auction house Thomson Roddick & Metcalf in 2007.

The silver that forms this collection was mainly made for British expatriates during the Raj. Their tastes were taken into consideration and tableware that could be found at home was designed to suit their European styles, directly copying fashions of London and Edinburgh. However, both the craftsmen and the clientele could not help but be influenced by the various styles that each region traditionally offered, and it is this melting pot which makes Indian silver so unusual and unique.
