Holland & Holland

The initial concept of the exquisite ‘London Gun’ was based upon the theme of ‘London World Trade’ with the River Thames being the link to the trade routes from the late 18th and 19th centuries. All of the inlaid metals are completed with gold, silver and, unusually copper – to represent the metals that were traded as currency.

The floorplate of the action features precious metal inlaid flora: poppy flowers, tea leaves and tea plants surrounding a map of lower England with a gold inlaid line striking through the Greenwich Meridian Line.
