FAQs

Egyptian Revival jewellery draws heavily on ancient motifs such as scarabs, sphinxes, and lotus flowers, experiencing a major resurgence following archaeological discoveries and widespread interest in ancient Egyptian culture during the Victorian and Edwardian eras.

Pieces from this period frequently utilised sterling silver combined with vitreous enamel work, often employing translucent plique-a-jour or opaque champleve techniques to create rich, vibrant colour variations within hand-wrought metal frameworks.

Authentication relies heavily on clear hallmarks stamped into the metal indicating the makers mark (such as the C&H monogram for Charles Horner), the assay office city mark (like the three sheaves for Chester), the fineness mark, and a date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

Antique brooches can be worn traditionally on lapels and collars, or used modernly to fasten heavy scarves, secure wrap dresses, or anchor minimalist structured blazers for a curated focal point.

Enamel and antique silver should be kept away from harsh chemical dips, ultrasonic cleaners, and abrasive cloths. They are best cleaned gently with a soft microfibre cloth and stored individually in tarnish-resistant pouches away from direct sunlight.
