In Europe and overseas, antiquarian silver is of increasing interest. It is readily collected and used for interior decoration. In our material antique silver from the private Florentine collection

Forty years ago, a Florentine dreamer went to study in London. Studying quickly faded into the background - Andrea Dalian was seized with a thirst for collecting antiquities. Passionate collectors say that their passion is like a disease, it is impossible to recover from it. At the same time, this passion gives an incomparable joy of discovery, any collector feels like a pioneer. All this happened to Andrea. There, in London, for the first time old silver fell into his hands: teapots of the Georgian era, candelabra of the 17th century, dishes covered with a century-old patina, a sculpture with traces of time ... Andrea literally fell ill with antique silver.

Now his collection of silver products is one of the most representative in Italy. Over time, priorities were more clearly defined. So, now in the sphere of his interests, first of all, American silver, in particular, the famous brand TIFFANY, and small plastic of the end of the XIX century. Andrea not only sells antiques, but also deals with restoration, and also makes replicas of antique designs.
