Silver Spotlight: Upcoming Auctions Shine Across US and UK

The auction calendar is buzzing with silver-focused events, beginning with Owens Auctions in Dallas, where the Selected Works sale wraps up at the end of September. Bidders can vie for a pair of sterling silver candlesticks after L.C. Tiffany, underscoring the continued appetite for historic silverware. The first dedicated silver sale of the season arrives on October 1 at Auction House North East, offering a mixed roster of silver, jewellery and watches that highlights the trend of pairing precious metals with timepieces to attract broader collector interest. A day later, Leland Little’s Fine Silver auction on October 2 showcases refined flatware and decorative pieces, reinforcing the market’s confidence in pure silver as a standalone investment.

Mid‑month, two parallel sales on October 9 bring silver back into the spotlight. Sheffield Auction Gallery and Stride & Son each host Silver, Jewellery & Watches auctions, featuring everything from antique silver candlesticks to contemporary silver jewellery. The simultaneous listings illustrate a competitive push among UK houses to capture the same buyer pool. Art & Antiques follows on October 13 with a live sale that includes silver alongside watches and jewellery, signalling that mixed‑category events remain a popular format for dealers seeking cross‑category bidding.

The second week of October sees Woolley & Wallis present a two‑day Silver & Objects of Vertu auction (October 21‑22), emphasizing high‑end silver objects such as ornate serving pieces and ceremonial items. Surrey Auctions on October 26 adds a regional flavour, pairing silver with gold jewellery and watches, while Gorringe’s October 28 sale continues the pattern with a dedicated Silver, Jewellery & Watches auction that leans heavily on contemporary silver designs.

Closing the autumn window, Keys in Norfolk schedules a Silver, Watches & Collectables auction for November 26, extending the season into the holiday market and offering collectors a final opportunity to secure silver pieces before year‑end. Across the United States and the United Kingdom, the calendar reflects a clear trend: silver is being highlighted both in specialist sales and as a premium component of mixed‑category events, catering to traditional collectors and new investors alike.
