About
Koopman Rare Art is one of the world’s leading dealers specialising in antique silver, gold boxes and objets de vertu. The company was founded by brothers Jacques and Eddy Koopman in 1952 and, after trading at the entrance to The London Silver Vaults since 1969, Koopman Rare Art has now moved to Dover Street, Mayfair.
Koopman Rare Art specialises in antique English silver, seeking the finest quality works especially by the Royal Goldsmiths Rundell Bridge & Rundell. However, it also has a keen eye for Chinese, modern and Continental silver. Lewis Smith and Timo Koopman, directors of Koopman Rare Art, share a wealth of knowledge and expertise. Together they are able to source the highest quality objects by some of the leading master craftspeople in silver, such as Paul Storr, Paul de Lamerie and Benjamin Smith.
Koopman Rare Art is a company that understands the importance of provenance research and pride itself on thorough academic study, providing clients with works of the finest quality and design, which can be trusted. It works closely with collectors providing professional advice and information on care management.
As London’s pre-eminent antique silver dealers, Koopman Rare Art has formed some of the most celebrated collections in the world including those of His Excellency Mahdi Mohammed Altajir and the private collection of Australian businessman Kerry Packer.
In addition, it has sold and continue to sell important antique silver to major museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Koopman Rare Art has an international client base, regularly visiting collectors in the Americas, Asia and Europe. The company also has a major presence at annual antique fairs across the world and have hosted several exciting loan exhibitions at the gallery in London.
