A five-year travelling exhibition of over eighty examples of modern silverware, loaned from the collection of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, begins this month at the Harley Gallery, Welbeck, Nottinghamshire (+44 [0] 1909 501700). The display represents a cross-section of the company's impressive collection, and includes influential examples by late-twentieth century silversmiths such as Professor Gerald Benney and Brian Asquith, as well as pieces by young twenty-first-century designers such as Hiroshi Suzuki (who, by coincidence, also has a studio in Welbeck).

The exhibition 'Treasures of Today: Silver from Goldsmiths' Hall, London 1980-2004' will run from 30 October until 19 December. In the autumn of 2005 it will travel to the Sheffield Millennium Galleries, followed by Birmingham City Museum in 2006, the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, in 2007 and finally the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, in 2008.
