Shimmering Season: Silver Auctions Spark Holiday Bidding Frenzy
Silver auction hero banner

The holiday calendar is already glittering with a string of silver‑focused sales. On, Capes Dunn in Cheshire will showcase a curated selection of British silver, featuring a polished milk jug, a set of globular glasses and early‑18th‑century Queen Anne candle sticks. That same day, Lawrences Auctioneers in Somerset launches its timed online "Christmas Silver" sale, offering collectors a festive window to acquire seasonal silver pieces before the year ends.

Two days later, on December 18, 2025, Wannenes Art Auctions turns its attention to Genoa, presenting a dedicated "Silver, Icons, and Russian Works of Art" auction. Bidders can expect a range of historic Russian silver objects alongside iconic decorative pieces, underscoring a growing appetite for culturally significant silver.

Regularly scheduled sales are also keeping silver in the spotlight. Starting December 21, 2025, S&S Auction in New Jersey runs a bi‑weekly online program that consistently includes silver lots, giving collectors frequent opportunities to add to their holdings throughout the winter months.

Looking ahead to 2026, the momentum continues. Mellors & Kirk Auctioneers in Nottingham plans a standalone "Silver" auction as part of its early‑year calendar, while Stephenson's Auction & Appraisers in Pennsylvania has announced a 2026 online event featuring a broad array of silver items. Maxwells Auctioneers, though without a fixed date, has signaled upcoming collective sales that will incorporate notable silver pieces alongside other categories.

Together, these events illustrate a clear trend: silver is moving from a supporting role in mixed‑category sales to a headline attraction in its own right. Seasonal themes, geographic diversity—from the UK to Italy and the United States—and the blend of dedicated and recurring formats suggest that collectors can expect an increasingly vibrant market for silver throughout the coming months.
