HL Brown announces silver exhibition in Leeds

Yorkshire jeweller HL Brown is to hold a public exhibition and sale of contemporary and 20th century silver to celebrate 100 years of silver design. The exhibition will be held at HL Brown’s Leeds store from 10-24 October and will feature contemporary pieces from names including Liberty, Omar Ramsden, and Katey Felton.

The event is open to the public at HL Brown Leeds, 26 Queen Victoria Street, Victoria Quarter. For further information telephone HL Brown Leeds on 0113 244 0011

HL Brown’s exhibition is entitled '100 years of silver design' and includes pieces by the foremost silversmiths and designers of the 20th Century. The likes of Georg Jensen, Liberty & Co, Tiffany & Co, and Gerald Benney will be represented among many others.

In addition, HL Brown is exhibiting collections by established modern silversmiths and designers Martyn Pugh, Bryony Knox, and Grant Macdonald alongside silversmiths and designers who have recently graduated such as Sarah Denny, Suzie Horan and Katey Felton.

Richard Pool FGA, director of HL Brown, said: “The exhibition will be of interest to silver collectors and discerning members of the public who value the highest standards in design. We have deliberately made the decision to showcase the work of some of Britain’s most promising up and coming designers, as well as the more established names that people will recognise more readily.

”We have a wealth of talent in silver design in this country and it is appropriate that we recognise 100 years of silver design by giving designers and silversmiths a platform to show off their creations.”

Entry to the exhibition is free of charge.
