The allure of silver, brought to you by Inés Fernández
I love the versatility of silver and its endless possibilities for becoming works of art.
Inés’ love of silver began while working at an auction house in Madrid, which was once an iconic old silversmith’s shop. As part of her job, she’d regularly make visits to a silversmithing workshop-turned-warehouse, seeing first-hand how creative one can be with the material. There were moulds for refined tableware; grand candlesticks; luxury picture frames, and plenty more artful pieces to please the eye. Academically, Inés holds a degree in Art History, with a further two Master’s in the fields of antiques appraisal and the art market. This educational background put her on a firm footing to deepen her love affair with silver, subsequently studying the craft of renowned silversmiths, as well as the silverworking process in workshops across Spain and Portugal. Coupled with her professional experience at auction houses and appraisal companies, Inés’ passion for silver makes her a perfect match as a Silverware Expert at Catawiki. She has a meticulous eye for quality and authenticity, so buyers can trust her expert view and curations.
