It seems Fabergé and good English silver is particularly popular with Australian collectors.
The timing could not be better since Tatiana Fabergé, a great-granddaughter of Peter Carl Fabergé, is in Sydney at the time before moving on to Adelaide.
Marks Antiques, who are shortly to move from Curzon Street to an even more illustrious Mayfair showroom, only finished at the Palm Beach! fair in Florida on February 12, where I saw them get off to quite a good start.

BEST known for their period silver by the master English silversmiths, Mayfair dealers Marks Antiques are also making a name for themselves with Fabergé, and, on February 18 and 19, hold a selling Fabergé exhibition at Martyn Cook Antiques, Queen Street, Woollahra, Sydney.
