FAQs

Victorian christening sets, typically consisting of a spoon and fork, gained immense popularity during the 19th century as traditional gifts for newborns and baptisms, symbolising wishes for prosperity and health.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver or silver plate, often featuring intricate cast or embossed handles and hallmarked to indicate the assay office, maker, and year of production.

Authenticity is verified by inspecting for clear hallmarksincluding a standard mark, assay office mark, and date letteras well as assessing the weight, patina, and traditional manufacturing techniques such as hand-chasing.

Antique silver pieces can be displayed in glass-fronted cabinets, used as decorative accents on a sideboard, or incorporated into table settings to add historical depth and metallic contrast to modern schemes.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth to preserve the patina, and stored in a tarnish-resistant environment away from high humidity and direct sunlight.
