Fisher London

Hilary Fisher trolls markets and fairs around England to find treasures (“items of social and historical interest”) from the 18^th and 19^th centuries. What grabs her fancy may be a burl wood lap desk or ivory chess set. It could be Victorian glass lions made to commemorate the lions of Trafalagar Square or an enameled coat of arms of the City of London. There are porcelain plates and boxes as well as jewelry and furniture. She knows the history of each piece, and if you don’t have time to scour the markets yourself, a visit here will reward you with special finds in much less time.
