Humphrey Butler – Agents & Dealers in fine jewellery
Venerable jeweller Humphrey Butler celebrates over 20 years at the forefront of the international fine antique jewellery market.
Humphrey Butler’s Pall Mall showroom is a veritable treasure trove of rare and unusual delights. Clients can choose from a stunning array of both important estate jewellery as well as more contemporary luxury pieces dating from the 18th Century to the present day.
Over the last 20 years, Butler’s carefully curated antique jewellery collection and sound advice have earned them the enviable position as the trusted, go to antique jewellers for the discerning client. With prices starting from £1,500 for an Edwardian diamond brooch or a pair of sapphire and diamond clusters, up to six figures for a glorious Victorian tiara, their personable, honest and welcoming approach is enjoyed by everyone who comes through their door.
The company is fronted by Humphrey, a former auction house specialist who forged an international career spanning two decades at the forefront of the jewellery division of Christie’s and Sotheby’s and Robert Leigh-Pemberton, another former auction house hand, who joined the company in 2016. Their knowledge and expertise are second to none and their loyal clientele, including royalty and celebrity, appreciate their total discretion.
Humphrey is delighted to have enjoyed 23 years in business; “I’m extremely proud of our heritage, the individuality of what we offer and the timelessness of our vintage stock which transcends the boundaries of fashion. Whether you’re after an exceptional engagement ring or a little pay day treat for yourself, come and see us, as we’re sure to have something which will suit.”
Part of the excitement and pleasure of buying antique jewellery is the provenance, with the purchaser becoming part of that history and continued story. A vintage piece is also a sustainable choice, without contributing to the mass production process so detrimental to the planet.
Humphrey and his team can also help with valuations, as well as the repair and redesign of family jewellery. They’re happy to take on individual commissions and have a proven track record in privately negotiated sales of items of significant historical interest, including sales to major international museums.
