FAQs

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a non-abrasive silver cloth to preserve the collectors patina, avoiding harsh liquid dips that can strip away original oxidisation in recessed areas.

Antique silver barware can be displayed on a mirrored drinks trolley, hung around the neck of contemporary crystal decanters, or showcased within a dedicated home bar display cabinet.

Authentic pieces are identified by clear British hallmarks stamped directly onto the metal, indicating the assay office, date letter, and makers mark, alongside period-appropriate weight and hand-finished detailing.

Victorian bottle tickets were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, often produced using casting, stamping, or piercing techniques, and occasionally featured bone or enamel components.

Decanter labels, also known as bottle tickets, emerged in the mid-18th century to identify decanted wines and spirits before paper labels were common, evolving into highly ornate pieces of decorative silver.
