Cabinet of Curiosities 2014, The Goldsmiths' Centre

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me…a limited edition artisan silverwork from the Contemporary British Silversmiths’ annual Christmas collection.
If you are looking for a design event London this festive season featuring young award-winning silversmiths without the high-end jeweller’s price, A Christmas of Curiosities at The Goldsmiths’ Centre is definitely for you.
The Contemporary British Silversmiths collection returns to the heart of London’s jewellery quarter in Clerkenwell with a new selection of silver decorations and objects d’art to delight design hunters. In a new twist to their collection this year, the group are launching their Christmas Advent Cabinet, where striking hand-made decorations and curiosity pieces will go on display in a wooden Advent Cabinet from December 1. Each day at The Goldsmiths’ Centre, London a new door will be opened to reveal one of 24 limited edition pieces – providing a real festive treat for collectors of contemporary craftsmanship. Pieces will also be available for sale at their on-line shop.
Curiosities featured in the Advent Cabinet include decorations from a Madonna and Child to a silver Guiding Star; silver spoons – from the deceptively simple to the ornate; and tiny objects worthy of any Christmas stocking. With prices ranging from £60 – £200, a silver connoisseur will be tempted to stock up on Christmas gifts for all the family.
