The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating in the mid-18th century, George II silver sauce boats typically feature scrolled handles, scalloped borders, and three cast feet influenced by French Rococo design.

These items were wrought from high-purity sterling silver using hand-hammering, chasing, and repousse techniques to create raised decorative motifs such as foliage and swans.

Authentic pieces bear period hallmarks, including the crowned harp or Hibernia mark for Dublin silver, alongside makers initials and characteristic hand-cast feet and chased relief.

A silver sauce boat can be displayed on a sideboard as a decorative vessel, utilised during dining service, or repurposed on a table to hold small floral arrangements.

Clean gently using a soft cloth and non-abrasive silver polish, avoiding dishwashers to preserve the surface patina and fine hand-chased detail.
