FAQs

French silver from around 1900 frequently incorporates Art Nouveau influences, featuring organic motifs, asymmetric curves, and classical French hallmarks indicating purity standards.

These pieces are crafted from sterling or higher-purity silver and are often finished with vermeil, a process where a thin layer of gold is electroplated or fire-gilt onto the silver surface.

Authenticity is verified through makers marks and government guarantee stamps, such as the French boars head or Minerva mark, alongside testing the metal composition.

Antique silver adds tactile contrast and historical texture to contemporary tablescapes, functioning as both decorative display items and functional serving utensils.

Silver gilt items require gentle cleaning with non-abrasive cloths and specialized silver polishes, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip the delicate gold wash.
