FAQs

Edwardian novelty silver casters, often shaped as animals and birds, became immensely popular due to advancements in manufacturing and a societal taste for whimsical, elaborate dining table accessories.

These items were typically crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as hand-chasing, repousse, and casting, often featuring pierced removable heads for dispensing sugar or pepper.

Authenticity is verified by examining clear hallmarks indicating the assay office, date letter, and makers mark, alongside assessing the quality of hand-chased feather detailing and the natural patination of the silver.

Displaying the piece on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or within a glass-fronted cabinet adds a touch of historical character and refined whimsy to both traditional and modern spaces.

Preserve silver items by storing them in low-humidity environments, handling them with soft cloths to avoid abrasion, and polishing sparingly with specialised non-abrasive silver cleaners to maintain the natural patina.
