Specialising in silverware from the Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian periods, as well as good 20th century design, David Shure have been dealing from the world famous London Silver Vaults since 1953. In 2007, when the original family owners decided to retire, the firm was taken over by I.Franks, the largest dealer in the Silver Vaults. Since then, the shop has gone from strength to strength in the charming and capable hands of manager Barry Carroll and today is renowned for superb customer service and an unrivalled stock of top quality silver.

At David Shure you can find great examples of every type of British Silverware, but there are a few things in which Barry particularly specialises and one of his true loves is that quintessential English tradition - Afternoon Tea. With the largest selection of tea ware in the London Silver Vaults, and an unrivalled knowledge of the etiquette of tea drinking, Barry will be delighted to help you recreate the magic of High Tea at one of the great London Hotels in the comfort of your own home.
Since 1959, when David Shure wrote the definitive book on Hester Bateman, the company's name has also been synonymous with the work of this celebrated silversmith. Lecturing both in England and abroad, Shure became widely recognised in the Antiques trade as the authority on the Silver of Hester Bateman. 60 years later, his book, "Hester Bateman- Queen of English Silversmiths", is still of great importance in the field of Antique Silver and today the shop has one of the largest collections of Hester Bateman silver for sale in the world.
