Simon Benney (1 January 1966) is an English designer and maker of jewellery and objets d'art.
Narrated by Zoe Wanamaker, the series first aired in 2016 and followed Wedgwood, John Lobb Bootmaker and Steinway & Sons, as well as Benney.
[12][13] Benney is the designer and maker of The Three Graces, a candelabra which took two years to complete and was, at the time, the most valuable modern silver commission since World War II, valued by Bonhams at between £250,000 and £300,000.
[14][15] It was unveiled at a standalone exhibition at Goldsmiths' Hall in January 2008,[16] and was described by Bonhams head of silver Ellis Finch as: "...a miraculous piece of design and construction.
It is, of course, meant to be used and is fully functional, but in its subtlety and mastery of technique it should also be seen as a work of art – a modern sculpture.
