FAQs

The Fiddle pattern is a traditional 19th-century silverware design characterised by a distinctive handle shape that flares out near the end, resembling a fiddle or violin. It became extremely popular in Britain during the Georgian and Victorian eras.

Antique canteens were typically crafted from solid timbers such as mahogany, oak, or walnut, featuring brass handles, hinges, and lock escutcheons. The interior linings traditionally consisted of baize, velvet, or leather to protect the sterling silver pieces.

Authentic pieces bear British hallmarks stamped directly onto the metal, which typically include a makers mark, a standard mark indicating sterling silver purity, a town assay mark, and a date letter corresponding to the specific year of production.

An antique cutlery chest can be displayed as a statement decorative object on a sideboard, console table, or dining room cabinet, combining functional heritage with classic elegance.

Sterling silver should be cleaned periodically with a specialised non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth to remove tarnish. Items ought to be stored in anti-tarnish lined boxes or flannel wraps within a controlled, low-humidity environment.
