Isabel Lopes Da Silva:
Fine jewellery and silver objects
Curated by Ronnie Cooke Newhouse
Isabel Lopes da Silva, an exhibition of Fine Jewellery and Silver Objects curated by Ronnie Newhouse has arrived at Dover Street Market.
Isabel Lopes da Silva is a distinguished Portuguese antiquarian and collector based in Lisbon, whose career spans more than four decades dedicated to the art of collecting and preserving objects and jewellery of historical and aesthetic significance. Her collection reflects a particular affinity for 20th-century decorative arts, with a focus on pieces dating from the 1930s to the 1970s, an era defined by bold design, craftsmanship and innovation.
This presentation, curated by Ronnie Cooke Newhouse, includes silver candlesticks from Italy, 1950, a gold necklace from 1970, a Sven Boltenstern bracelet in gold and peridots and many other pieces selected for their distinctive character.
“I met Ronnie many years ago at my shop in Lisbon, it was one of those rare moments where we could understand each other on aesthetics and what this job and selection could be” - Isabel Lopes da Silva
“I first discovered Isabel and her treasure trove of a shop in Lisbon, close to 20 years ago. Isabel's take on statement jewellery from the 30‘s to the 70‘s was not like any other. She sought out the rare, unusual and sublime pieces. Mixing jewellery, silverware and ceramics together in her shop to create a spectacularly edited collection. I am so excited to present her and the edited selection at Dover Street Market” - Ronnie Cooke Newhouse
