Read More »Arts and antiques are the leading sector for sales of antique ivory. To protect elephants and prevent their extinction by stifling trade, the UK government has passed what environment secretary Michael Gove is calling “one of the world’s toughest” bills. The bill imposes a near-total ban on ivory trading, including antique ivory - no matter how old it is. If caught with antique ivory for sale, you could face up to five years in jail or an unlimited fine. This applies to sales through auction houses and centres as well as private web sales. It’s an extremely worthy and important environmental cause. Around 20,000 African elephants are killed by poachers yearly, according to the WWF, while the Savannah elephant population has dwindled from 1.3 million to 415,000. Prince William has even made it his personal mission to protect these magnificent beasts. However, many dealers in the antiques trade are worried business will crumble and that items of rich cultural heritage will end up collecting dust or worse - on scrap heaps.

They fear the exemptions are so miniscule it will mean that the majority of objects made from solid ivory will not qualify for legal trade. Japanese netsuke specialist Max Rutherston told artnet: “As all who have fought the bill know, and have stated vociferously, there is no connection between the trade in antique ivory and the poaching of these magnificent beasts.” Sadly, many items which have been treasured for centuries are ivory antiques. Everything from inlays and handles on Georgian furniture to teapots, clocks and barometers contain the material. Historic treasures may be left in dealer’s inventories due to the time, money and effort required to register them - not to mention the fear of a jail sentence.
