About

Sylvia Powell Decorative Arts

The company was established more than 25 years ago by Sylvia and her late husband David, a consultant structural engineer who took early retirement, and together they then began the journey into a lifestyle that would transform their lives.

Their passion for this art form, as well as a belief that every item sold should be guaranteed perfect ensured that they soon built a loyal, worldwide client base.

To date, the company has built private collections, corporate collections, sold to many museums worldwide and has clients from the UK, USA, Australia, Japan, South Africa and Europe as well as forming solid connections with interior designers both for private and corporate work.

David passed away in 2002, and Sylvia's son Marc then joined her in continuing and expanding the business.  Today they exhibit at 9 or 10 major fairs annually in the UK and USA where, as well as selling wonderful art pottery, they give booth talks and pass on their wealth of knowledge about every piece to customers and visitors alike.

Sylvia and Marc acquire and sell the best and rarest examples of specialist manufacturers of art pottery, they will source items for you and every piece is sold with their personal guarantee of authenticity and quality, thus ensuring the investment potential, as well as giving their clients the knowledge that they own a rare and beautiful item.

The last two years have seen them move forward towards more contemporary pottery, and now included in their inventory are stunning examples of Picasso, Cocteau, Lurcat, Fantoni and many more spectacular pieces.
