FAQs

Niello is a black metallic alloy of sulphur, silver, lead, and copper used as an inlay on engraved or etched metal, notably practiced extensively in Imperial Russia.

Traditional pieces were crafted from solid silver, often marked with Cyrillic hallmarks or kokoshnik stamps, featuring hand-engraved designs filled with the black niello contrast paste.

Authentic items typically feature period hallmarks, such as standard silver fineness numbers (like 84 zolotniks), makers marks, and distinct tonal contrast within the niello inlay that shows age-appropriate wear.

Small antique metalwork items can be mounted in shadow boxes, displayed on miniature stands within cabinets, or styled alongside books and textiles to add historical texture.

Niello should be cleaned extremely carefully using a soft, dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh silver dips or abrasive polishes that can permanently strip the dark metallic inlay from the recesses.
