Antiques, Silverware & Luxury Interiors

In periods of inflation and economic uncertainty, investors traditionally turn towards tangible assets. Gold, property and precious metals immediately come to mind, but there is another asset class that has been quietly preserving wealth, and giving its owners considerable pleasure, for generations - fine antiques and collectables.

At Pushkin’s Gallery, we believe that art has the power not only to inspire and bring people together, but also to make a meaningful difference. Our recent charity auction was a wonderful example of this spirit, and we are delighted to announce that, thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our guests, donors and bidders, we raised £5,500 in much needed funds for the Orthodox Church in Hastings. This contribution brings the church another step closer to completion, a cause that holds special significance for the local Orthodox community and for all those who value the preservation of faith, culture and heritage.

From fox head stirrup cups to monkey claret jugs and silver mounted griffin decanters, animals have long provided silversmiths with some of their most imaginative subjects. For collectors of antique silver and luxury barware, these pieces offer far more than novelty. They combine craftsmanship, humour and social history, transforming familiar drinking accessories into sculptural objects designed to be admired as much as used.

Pushkin’s will be hosting an exclusive Charity Gala Evening at 6pm on Tuesday 6th October at Pushkin's (64 High st, Tunbridge Wells), in support of the Orthodox Church in Hastings and its invaluable work within the local community.

The Japanese Meiji period (1868–1912) was one of the most important eras in the history of Japanese decorative art. Following the Meiji Restoration, Japan modernised rapidly and expanded its commercial and cultural relationships with Europe and America. International exhibitions, foreign trade and the growth of ports such as Yokohama created a new market for Japanese luxury goods.

Pushkin's is proud to collaborate with renowned Tunbridge Wells artist HUMOR on a series of provocative artworks combining his distinctive style, wit and subversive humour. Playing with familiar characters, authority, money and mischief, the collection is designed to catch the eye, challenge expectations and start conversations.

Fifty years on, the most quietly radical thing about Vico Magistretti's Maralunga is still the noise it doesn't make. Push the headrest up, pull it down, and a hidden mechanism inside the cushion does the rest; no levers, no clicks, no visible hardware. Just a sofa that knows when to sit formally and when to sprawl.

For more than 700 years, the island of Murano, just outside Venice, has been renowned for producing some of the world's finest handcrafted glass. Today, Murano glass remains a symbol of quality, artistry and timeless design, with its beautiful lamps bringing elegance to homes, hotels and commercial spaces around the world.

Lay figure mannequins were once practical studio tools. Today, the best surviving examples read just as clearly as sculpture. Used by artists, sculptors, tailors and academies, these articulated wooden figures helped with the study of anatomy, proportion, drapery and movement.
