Piers Rankin has nearly 40 years experience as a silver dealer and until 2021 was based in Camden Passage, Islington, London for more than 30 years.
Piers began his career with the good fortune of obtaining a 6 year apprenticeship with the London and New York company of silver dealers, S J Shrubsole. At the same time, he studied at the Sir John Cass School of Art and in 1979, received a City & Guild London Institute Diploma in Silversmith work and Allied Crafts.
Weekends and holidays were spent working his own market stall in Camden Passage, Islington which is famed for its antique trade and where he opened his first tiny, one room shop in the Mall Antique Arcade, staying there for almost ten years.
In 1994 he moved 500 yards further along the Passage and had the luxury of a three floor shop, two of which are filled with high quality English silver (occasionally some foreign), Silver plate, Old Sheffield plate and Glassware.
In 2021 Piers Rankin relocated to Great Grooms of Hungerford, Riverside House, Charnam Street, Hungerford, Berkshire, RG17 0EP.
