FAQs

Victorian silver christening sets, typically comprising a knife, fork, and spoon, gained immense popularity during the 19th century as traditional gifts for newborns and baptisms, symbolising wealth, good fortune, and status.

These sets were crafted from sterling silver, often featuring intricate hand-engraved motifs, chased details, and sometimes mother-of-pearl handles, produced by renowned silversmiths using traditional smithing and hallmarking techniques.

Authenticity is determined by checking for clear sterling silver hallmarks, including the makers mark (such as Chawner & Co), the city assay office stamp, the standard mark, and the date letter corresponding to the specific year of production.

Antique silver items can be displayed inside glass-fronted cabinets, mounted in shadow boxes, or styled on silver display trays to add a touch of historical elegance and reflective texture to contemporary living spaces.

Preserve antique silver by storing it in tarnish-resistant cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips, and cleaning infrequently with a specialised microfibre cloth and mild silver polish specifically formulated for antiques.
