FAQs

Silver gilt, often referred to as vermeil when executed over sterling silver, consists of a base metal of silver coated with a thin layer of gold. Unlike solid gold items, silver gilt offers the rich lustre and corrosion resistance of gold while retaining the structural integrity and hallmark traditions of silver.

Historically, silver gilt was predominantly produced using a hazardous technique known as fire gilding or mercury gilding, where an amalgam of gold and mercury was applied to the silver surface and heated. By the mid-19th century, this method was largely superseded by electroplating, which deposited gold ions onto the silver via an electrical current.

Authenticity is typically verified by examining hallmarks stamped directly onto the metal, which indicate the maker, assay office, date letter, and purity of the silver beneath the gilt layer. Additionally, microscopic examination of the gold surface can reveal wear patterns and gilding methods consistent with historical periods.

Antique silver gilt flatware brings a touch of refined metallic warmth to contemporary table settings, pairing well with crisp linen runners and minimalist tableware. When not in use, displaying them in a glass-fronted cabinet or within their original fitted case adds a layer of historic texture to a dining room.

Silver gilt requires exceptionally gentle care because aggressive polishing will wear away the delicate gold layer over time. Cleaning should be restricted to dusting with a soft microfiber cloth or occasional washing in warm water with mild, phosphate-free soap, avoiding all abrasive silver dips and commercial polishes.
