FAQs

Guilloche is a decorative technique where a precise, intricate pattern is mechanically engraved into metal beneath a translucent layer of enamel. It gained immense popularity during the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods, particularly among Scandinavian silversmiths such as David Andersen.

These items are typically crafted from sterling silver that has been heavily coated in a layer of fine gold, a process known as silver gilt or vermeil. Vitreous enamel is then applied by hand over an engine-turned or engraved metallic base before being fired at high temperatures.

Authentic pieces generally bear traditional Norwegian silver hallmarks, including maker marks such as the scales for David Andersen, alongside purity marks like 925s for sterling silver. Genuine vintage enamel exhibits precise machine-turned patterning underneath without bubbling, discolouration, or modern resin repairs.

These refined silver items work well as focal points in a tablescape, displayed on a sideboard or within a glass-fronted cabinet to highlight the vibrant enamel colours. They can be paired with contemporary minimalist tableware to create a striking contrast between modern simplicity and historical craftsmanship.

Silver gilt and enamel items should be washed by hand using warm water and a mild, non-abrasive liquid soap, then dried immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh silver dips, ultrasonic cleaners, or abrasive brushes, as these can permanently damage the fragile vitreous enamel and strip the gold plating.
