SJ Phillips

The Louvre Museum in Paris has raised more than £8m to buy a jewel-encrusted Book of Hours.

A 16th century Hungarian silver-gilt cup and cover proved the most eagerly-contested lot at Sotheby’s sale of items from the stock of SJ Phillips earlier this week.

Jewellery dealer SJ Phillips is to sell a selection of its wares at a Sotheby’s auction after it downsized to new premises in Mayfair earlier this year.

Antique jewellery dealer SJ Phillips is moving out of Bond Street next month to a second floor of Bruton Street in Mayfair.

Legendary London jewellery, silver and object d’art dealership SJ Phillips are planning to leave their landmark Mayfair store after almost one-and-a-half centuries.

IN an unusual trade initative, three London dealers have combined forces to buy and sell one of the largest silver collections in private hands and one of the biggest for sheer numbers ever to be offered in the trade.
