Davies Antiques

In 2002 after 25 years specialising in Meissen, I closed my gallery in Kensington and for the last seven years have been trading successfully from my web site and by appointment from my address in Battersea. Here my stock of Meissen porcelain, sometimes referred to as Meissen china, can be viewed weekdays between 9.30 am and 4.30 pm. I always have an interesting selection of eighteenth and nineteenth century Meissen figures, groups, tableware, clocks, vases and animals. The last few years have not been easy for antique dealers, with the on set of the credit crunch making life even harder. However Meissen porcelain has remained a steady investment during this difficult period, which I attribute to the quality of its manufacture. I consider Meissen to be the 'Rolls Royce' of porcelain but then I would wouldn't I?

In the last few years there has been an influx of new money from wealthy Russians into the Meissen china market, especially for Meissen figures from the eighteenth century.
