Piers Rankin Antiques - London
My career began with the good fortune of taking up a 6 year apprenticeship with the London and New York company of silver dealers, S J Shrubsole. At the same time, I studied at the Sir John Cass School of Art and in 1979, obtained a City & Guild London Institute Diploma in Silversmith work and Allied Crafts. Weekends and holidays were spent working my own market stall in Camden Passage, famed for its antique trade and where I opened myfirst tiny, one room shop in the Mall Antique Arcade staying there for almost ten years.
In 1994 I moved 500 yards further along the Passage and now have the luxury of three floors two of which are very well stocked with quality merchandise. English silver (occasionally some foreign), Silverplate, Old Sheffield plate and Glassware. My main business is export, selling to other dealers all over the world including some of America's most prestigious stores but being open six days a week also allows retail sales to the public. I very much hope you enjoy the Website and look forward to receiving your enquiry.
