Little Masterpieces At Olympia International Art & Antiques Fair

The International Art and Antiques Fair is kept each year at the Olympia Exhibition Hall, Kensington, west London. I attended, as I do each year, excited, hoping to find galore little treasure. My interest is Chinese art and antiques, which I have purchased and sold, and accumulated for more than thirty years. I undertake to visit most of the Art and Antiques fairs in the UK and numerous in Europe and the US each year.

From a Chinese art point of view Olympia was a disappointment for me. Although I saw a few interesting pieces, the objects I would have liked to buy were too costly or restored. I was resigned to leaving empty-handed. Not only empty-handed, disappointed, because I had not been actually excessively affected emotionally by anything I had seen and I had walked miles. Exhausted I headed for a coffee stand.

Unable to find a seat in the coffee shop, I sat on a long bench opposite a stand marketing silver. Although I occasionally buy Chinese silver to sell, I have never been mesmerized in gathering silver, always seeing it as too bright and calling for too much attention to keep it that way. I seldom look at silver dealers stands, but as I sipped my coffee I looked at the objects this merchant was merchandising and speedily realised that a good deal of of them were much more than just silver. Gilded, silver beakers, tankards and huge covered cups that looked like pineapples mingled with religious objects: a gilded monstrance, a rock crystal cross and respective reliquaries. None of these objects were standard and they were all eighteenth century or earlier.

The man merchandising these items lifted respective pieces out of the cabinets, cheerfully, giving data in splendid English with an accent I did not recognise. I looked at the name above the stand: Peter Szuhay - B59.

Somebody asked the price of a pretty rhino-horn cup with a gilded, silver foot. I recognise not one thing when it comes to European rhino-horn works of art, so when the potential buyer left and I had finished my coffee, I asked Mr Szuhay if he would show it to me.

We chatted with regards to the cup, now standing among us on top of a glass showcase filled with jewellery and I discover that Mr Szuhay is Hungarian, has lived in London for over thirty years and has a permanent stand in Grays Antique Market, Davies Street, in London's West End, near Bond Street underground station. He is a leading expert on Continental silver and works of art. He showed me respective pretty pieces early silver, mentioning the famous towns of Augsburg and Nuremberg, of which, even a Chinese art merchant has heard. He likewise has an interest in later silver and he showed me a great deal of 19th century Russian silver and a magnificent 20th century silver fish-server by the Scandinavian master silversmith, Georg Jensen.

I noticed that, what I had initially dismissed as jewellery, in the showcase beneath the cup, was in fact an array of beautifully carved stone cameos and intaglios. I am applied to seeing shells carved into portraits, mounted in brooches, normally from Italy and dating from the mid-nineteenth century until rather recently, but these pieces were something rather dissimilar and very exciting.

By now we were on original name terms and Peter showed me a selection of these carved stones, dating from the late nineteenth century back to Rome in the third century AD. Exquisite, tiny works of art, a great deal of signed by sixteenth century master carvers. We were interrupted and while Peter sold a Chinese silver box, which I had not even noticed was there and I walked to the other side of the stand, where he had a second jewellery showcase.

Here he was displaying, what appeared to be, a group of much more frequent gold signet rings. But, when he returned to talk to me again, Peter put me straight. They were genuinely English Medieval rings of gold and silver. Some were signet rings others were guild rings or iconography rings, worn by pilgrims and etched with icons of Saint Christopher etc. There were sixteenth and seventeenth century Posy rings: for the most part plain gold bands bearing sentiments etched around the inside of the ring, in Olde English. This was an area of gathering I had never considered. I have never had much interest in jewellery as adornment, but Peter's jewellery was a lot more than that - it was sculpture, design and graphic art and everything had a story and a history attached. These little masterworks were a revelation to me.

I did not buy anything from Peter Szuhay at Olympia, even though he did make my day and gave me something to write about. I did nonetheless promise to visit his shop in Grays Antique Market and I will, and I'm sure I will buy something from him soon. Peter also offers a selection of his stock at: http://peterszuhay.co.uk.
