Ottewill

read moreWith a wide range of specialism across the team from model making and enamelling to intricate gold and silver work, the company has incredible versatility. Ottewill Silversmiths are proud to have manufactured a new verge for Westminster Abbey. The piece was used for the first time on 15th October by the Dean's Verger, Martin Castledine. The commission by Westminster Abbey following a tender process overseen by The Goldsmiths' Company, stipulated that the piece had to be made by an apprentice. Our 5th year apprentice, 21 year old William Sullivan, relished the challenge and it was hand made to an exceptional standard in our Ashford based silver workshops.

This involved removing the staircase from the yacht whilst it was docked in Barcelona, stripping and refinishing the balustrade and silver plating it, before returning it to Barcelona to re-install it. Up until now, we were not able to show anything more than a couple of photos. However, the yacht is now for sale and so we have been given permission to share the following YouTube video, which showcases the amazing staircase, together with the rest of the yacht, in case you're tempted!
