Commission: New Huguenot Silver

The Huguenot Museum seek to commission some unique pieces of silver to be sold in our Museum Shop in time for Christmas.

About the Museum:
The Huguenot Museum opened last year and tells the important story of the French Protestants who fled persecution in France in the 17th Century.

Silver was one of the key trades practiced by these new arrivals, who changed the face of the craft.

About the Project:
We seek to commission a new piece (or pieces) of silver or jewellery which has been inspired by Huguenot Heritage which we will then sell in our Museum shop in time for Christmas.

A bursary of £500 will be awarded to the successful designer-maker and the Museum will also host a complementary small exhibition of the maker’s work.

The Huguenot Museum is launching the New Huguenot Silver programme with funds received from South East Museums Development Programme, supported by Arts Council England.
