Our catalogue > Colonial Indian & Burmese Silver
Each item of colonial Indian silver shown here is for sale.
We also have a separate page for Mughal Silver - which tended to be made for the local, northern Indian market with form and decoration in keeping with the Islamic-Mughal aesthetic.
Each of our pieces here has been sourced from within the UK, typically from old, private collections, and Indian silver items from us are now to be found in museums around the world.
