History

Since 1975 Hugh Davies, trading as Davies Antiques has been the proprietor of shops in Kensington Church Street London. He has been fortunate in dealing with one of the world's luxury commodities, Meissen porcelain, which has been the pre-eminent European porcelain manufacturer for three centuries.

An Acknowledged Expert on Meissen Porcelain

He has participated in the June Olympia Fair of the late 1970's and then in the early 1980's he was one of the inaugural exhibitors at the International Ceramics Fair held at the Dorchester Hotel Park Lane. However, being essentially a one-man band he found Fairs too demanding with his time. Over the last quarter of a century he has acquired an international clientele and his love and passion for Meissen porcelain has made him an expert in this field.

In 1995 Davies Antiques held a loan exhibition of figures and animals from the Meissen Museum. The period covered was 1875-1925 and was augmented with a lecture by Dr. Hans Sonntag, director of the Meissen Museum. In 1997 he published and co-wrote Meissen Porcelain Dogs 1875-1925, with Dr. Sonntag.

Without the constraints of the shop at 40 Kensington Church Street he will be able to give his private and trade customers a much more personal service. He also hopes to publish other books on antique Meissen porcelain covering the years 1875-1938, a period, which he feels, is under researched and consequently not yet fully appreciated by collectors. He is optimistic that his web site will introduce some of these rare pieces to a larger audience as well as showing a full range of items from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
