FAQs

Christening spoons have been traditional gifts for newborn children since the 16th century, often given by godparents to wish the child wealth, health, and good fortune throughout their life.

Victorian spoons were typically crafted from sterling silver using traditional silversmithing techniques such as casting, hand-engraving, and chasing to create intricate relief designs and detailed figural finials.

Authentic pieces can be identified by examining the hallmarks stamped into the metal, which typically include a makers mark, a standard mark indicating silver purity, a town assay mark, and a date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

Antique silver can be displayed in glass-fronted cabinets, mounted in shadow boxes, or styled on sideboards and tabletop trays to add historical texture and reflective metallic brilliance to contemporary spaces.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a specialized non-abrasive silver polish and a soft microfibre cloth, and stored in a dry, tarnish-resistant environment away from direct sunlight and humidity.
