FAQs

Georgian spice and sugar sifters were developed during the 18th century as dining habits evolved to include finer spices and refined sugar, requiring specialised implements for tea, punch, and desserts.

These items were traditionally fashioned from sterling silver using hand-beating, piercing, and engraving techniques, often bearing hallmarks that indicate the maker, city, and year of production.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-correct hallmarks, traditional hand-cut piercing rather than modern machine stamping, and appropriate signs of age-related wear such as light surface scratching and softening of edges.

Antique silver can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, used as part of a styled tablescape, or mounted in shadow boxes to add historical texture and metallic contrast to modern spaces.

Antique silver should be washed infrequently in warm, soapy water using a soft cloth, avoiding harsh abrasive dips or vigorous scrubbing that can damage delicate pierced work and remove historic patination.
