FAQs

Art Nouveau emerged in the late 19th century, characterised by organic motifs, fluid asymmetrical lines, and natural forms inspired by plants and flowers, moving away from historic revival styles.

Edwardian silver items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, often utilising techniques such as piercing, repousse, engraving, and casting to create intricate ornamental designs.

Authentic British pieces from this era feature a complete set of hallmarks stamped into the metal, typically including the makers mark, the standard mark for sterling silver, the town assay office mark, and a date letter corresponding to the specific year of testing.

Antique silver can be displayed on a sideboard, within a glass-fronted cabinet, or incorporated into modern table settings to add textural contrast, historical depth, and metallic sheen.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a specialist non-abrasive silver polish and a soft microfibre cloth to preserve the patina and details, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip the finish.
