ONLINE AUCTION

Celebrating Silver
including The Mary Eleanor Hibbert Collection II

10 - 29 October 2025

   

Cape Town: Following the resounding success of The Mary Eleanor Hibbert Collect Part I Cape Silver Auction, Strauss & Co is delighted to present The Mary Eleanor Hibbert Collect Part II, alongside our annual Celebrating Silver auction. 

This two-part online auction offers a journey through the world of silver, featuring an exceptional selection of English and Continental silver. From bespoke tableware and serving pieces to striking decorative objects, the auction celebrates the artistry, craftsmanship, and history that define silver across the centuries.

   
   

The Mary Eleanor Hibbert Collection Part II represents the continuation of a lifetime’s passion for collecting. Assembled over more than three decades, it showcases refined Continental silver, and English silver from the Georgian period through to the 20th century, each piece chosen for its quality, character, and design.

   
   

Celebrating Silver brings together a dynamic selection of English, German, and international silver, ranging from classic forms to rare and unexpected treasures, including a Dutch VOC ingot recovered from the Bredenhof wreck, offered from the collection of one of the original salvors.

   
   

“Across both sessions, collectors will find pieces that embody the enduring beauty, heritage, and craftsmanship of silver in all its forms."


–  Shirley Daniels-Poyiya, Strauss & Co Silver Specialist
