Oliver Goldsmith

is 100 years old

For the centenary, the family went to where the frames are made.

In April, Oliver's three children flew to Tokyo to open an Oliver Goldsmith pop-up shop. For two weeks, a century of frames, catalogues and photographs sat in one room, a long way from Poland Street.

To mark the hundred years, our Japanese partners made something the company had never made before: a frame in solid gold, in an edition of 100. One for every year.
