Dr Nicks Athenaeum

Dr Nicks Athenaeum Antiques and oddities for sale from the collection of Nick Powell Brown, a respected and accomplished artist with a Doctorate in Fine Arts. My youngest brother.

Nick's treasured finds gave him great joy. He spent many hours scouring Flea markets and antique markets in Paris and London and mudlarking on the Thames during his time as an Artist in Residence in Paris and while undertaking research for his Masters and Doctorate. His collection includes curiosities, Mori jewellery, watches, militaria, marquetry boxes , die cast models, prints, bookplates and en

gravings, photographs and post cards, antique books and writing implements, fine art, Sanctus, and varied other ephemera. Nicks collection was specific, considered, and often particularly relevant to his research and development for the exhibition of works for his masters and doctorate. Many of the objects, curios and images appear in his art works. Antique books were also purchased for reference. It’s time for Nicks treasures to find new admirers and continue their journey through history. It is hoped that the sale of these items will help fund publication of Nicks writing, a retrospective exhibition of his works from 1980s to 2019 and a visual, catalogued record of his prolific life’s work. His family hope you will get as much joy from his 'finds' as he did.

This prestigious firm of manufacturing silversmiths was originally established by William Comyns in c. 1859 when he purchased the business of Robert Tagg, an outworker of Rundell, Bridge & Co. William Comyns, silversmith, subsequently moved to 1 Percy Mews, Rathbone Place, then to 16 Silver Street, Golden Square, Soho and to Beak Street, Regent Street. Additional premises were taken from c. 1903 at 54 Marshall Street, Soho. The firm became William Comyns & Son in c. 1885 when sons Charles and Richard were admitted to the partnership. William Comyns died in January 1916. The business became William Comyn & Sons Ltd in 1930, with R.H. Comyns as permanent governing director.Always fine quality and made silver for other retailers including Tiffany of New York. In 1953, the company was purchased by Bernard Copping and is now one of the few surviving manufacturing silversmiths in London, with premises at Comyns House, Tower Street, London, WC2. #
