FAQs

Silver gilt, also known as vermeil, consists of sterling silver base metal that has been coated with a thin layer of gold through an electrochemical or fire-gilding process, offering the appearance of solid gold at a lower cost.

Victorian silversmiths frequently utilised traditional methods such as hand-chasing, embossing, and mercury or electro-gilding to apply the gold layer over hallmarked sterling silver.

Authenticity is typically verified by locating official British assay office hallmarks stamped on the metal, which indicate the standard of silver, the makers mark, and the specific year of manufacture.

These pieces can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets or styled on tabletop vitrines, adding a touch of metallic warmth and historical texture to modern dining or living spaces.

Silver gilt should be stored in tarnish-resistant, acid-free lined boxes, kept away from direct sunlight, and cleaned infrequently with non-abrasive cloths to avoid wearing away the delicate gold layer.
