Silver Spotlight: Holiday Auctions Spark Festive Finds
Silver auction hero banner

The auction calendar is brimming with silver‑centric sales as the year draws to a close. The first wave hits on December 15, when the Flash‑Luxe online event wraps up at 4 p.m., showcasing a mixed lot of silver accessories alongside art and luxury goods. That same day, S&S Auction in New Jersey and Lawrences Auctioneers in Somerset both conclude their Christmas Silver sales, each offering a curated selection of silver flatware, candlesticks and decorative pieces for holiday gifting. Gorringe's in Nottingham also ends its December 15 sale featuring a range of silver items, from vintage tea sets to contemporary tableware.

The momentum continues on December 16 with Capes Dunn in Cheshire presenting a specialist lot of Adrian Gerald Benney silverware, including a milk jug and a set of globular glasses, plus early‑18th‑century Queen Anne candlesticks. Two days later, Lacey Scott & Knight in London closes a multi‑category auction that highlights silver watches, silver coins (omitted here per editorial policy), and a broad array of silver accessories.

Mid‑December sees further activity: Holloways Auctioneers in Wiltshire concludes its December 19 sale, featuring a standout collection of silver jewelry, silver watches and silver‑finished decorative art. While many of these events are one‑off holiday offerings, the new year ushers in dedicated silver programmes. In January, McTear's Auctioneers in Scotland will run a "Silver & Luxury Accessories" sale, focusing on high‑end silver watches, silver‑plated home accents and bespoke silver pieces. Shortly thereafter, Auction House North East schedules a "Silver, Jewellery & Watches" auction, emphasizing contemporary silver watches and refined silver décor.

Later in 2026, a series of specialist houses—Bellmans, Sheffield Auction Gallery, Halls Holdings, and Thomson Roddick—plan standalone silver auctions, each promising a mix of antique silverware, modern silver accessories and precision silver watches. Across the spectrum, the trend is clear: collectors and casual bidders alike are drawn to silver’s timeless appeal, whether as functional tableware for festive tables or as elegant personal accessories for the new year. The steady flow of silver‑focused events underscores the metal’s enduring market strength and its role as a centerpiece of seasonal auction activity.
