The Art of the Biscuit Tin | The Lewis Collection
McTear’s is pleased to present The Lewis Collection, a lifelong curation of biscuit tins collated by one man and now brought to auction for the first time. A stand-alone auction was a presentation of The Lewis Collection befitting the care and passion with which it was curated, allowing the tins to travel the globe and enter new collections.
For a complimentary, no-obligation valuation, make an appointment to visit our Glasgow Galleries, or call us on 0141 810 2880.
