We welcome new members who share our interests in antique metalware. On joining the AMS, you will become part of an international group of metalware collectors, curators, dealers, auctioneers and academics, all of whom contribute to the Society in many ways.
Members receive a free hardcopy of the Journal of the Antique Metalware Society whenever published, plus access to two Newsletters per year. In addition, they have access to an extended range of features on this website including better quality images of selected Gallery items, recordings of selected presentations given at AMS meetings and additional subject matter of interest to AMS members.
Two meetings are held annually, in Spring and Autumn, and members are welcome and encouraged to attend if possible. Short presentations on specific topics are given by members or invited speakers and there is a ‘members’ items’ section where objects are discussed, identified and are sometimes swapped.
