FAQs

Late Victorian silver is characterised by ornate detailing, heavy gauge metal, and adherence to historic revival styles, often incorporating natural motifs such as shells and florals.

Authentic pieces from 1896 feature standard British hallmarks including the lion passant for sterling silver, a city mark for the assay office, a date letter for the specific year, and the makers mark.

Authentication relies on verifying legible hallmarks against official assay office records, checking for appropriate weight, and examining the piece for period-appropriate wear and construction techniques.

These pieces can be displayed on sideboards or mantelpieces to add reflective metallic texture, or utilised functionally as decorative catch-alls for small items in traditional or transitional spaces.

Preservation involves storing pieces in tarnish-resistant cloth, avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners, and using specialised silver polish only when necessary to maintain the natural patina.
