The Georgian era spans the reigns of the four King Georges from 1714 to 1830, characterised by classical proportions, refined craftsmanship, and an evolution from plain silver forms to increasingly ornate rococo and neo-classical ornamentation.

These pieces were typically crafted from sterling silver, often featuring gilt interiors known as wash-gilt, and utilised techniques such as hand-raising, repousse, chasing, and cast applied feet or handles.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarks stamped on the metal, which include the makers mark, the town mark indicating the assay office, the standard mark for sterling silver, and a date letter corresponding to the specific year of production.

Antique silver pieces can be integrated into modern settings by using them as functional vessels on sideboards or as decorative accents on open shelving, adding a layer of historical contrast and polished metallic texture to the scheme.

Antique silver should be cleaned infrequently using a specialist non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth to preserve the patina, and stored in a dry, tarnish-resistant environment away from direct sunlight.
