WWW.BARRIEWALLIS.COM Antique Sterling Silver has been a passion of mine for many years. I was first introduced to the Antiques world in 1980 by my older brother who had a Antique shop on Arkwright Street, Nottingham “Michael and Elizabeth Antiques” It was from here that I fell in love with this wonderful profession. Over the years he would help me understand the different and diverse aspects of the trade, from Furniture to Silverware. When I began to understand more of the finer details of Sterling Silver I soon decided that this was going to be my special passion. Please browse around my site and indulge yourself with numerous periods of English history. While viewing each piece take time out to think of the original owners and their surroundings, and all of those that have held it before you and the stories that it could tell. I try and stock a fine array of antiques from the Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian, Art Nouveau and Art Deco Periods.
