The firm of E.& C. T. Koopman & Son Ltd was founded in 1958 by Eddy and Jacques Koopman. Through the '70s and '80s it quickly rose to become the largest firm of antique silver dealers in the country. As a dealer to all people, Jacques managed to put together many great collections including the Mahdi Al Tajir collection and the Packer collection.

Since 1993 the company successfully merged with Rare Art (London) Ltd, run by Lewis Smith. The combination has continued to trade in the same manner as before, dealing with museums, collectors, and decorators. Together they have placed items of importance into museums as well as the homes of some of the most discerning collectors worldwide.

Our business today is solely designed for those searching for top quality silver in both design and manufacture. We specialise in supplying private clients as well as those in the trade with silver by Paul De Lamerie, Paul Storr, Robert Garrard and all old silver between the 16th to the 20th century that is top quality.
