FAQs

Georgian silverware spans the reigns of the four King Georges from 1714 to 1830, characterised by classical proportions, elegant hand-engraving, and functional yet ornate designs often featuring rococo or neoclassical motifs.

These pieces were typically hand-crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as piercing, chasing, and hand-engraving, often featuring hollow or wooden handles depending on the exact decade of manufacture.

Authenticity is verified through hallmark stamping on the metal, which typically includes a makers mark, a standard mark for sterling silver, a duty mark, and a date letter indicating the specific year of assay.

Antique silver items can be displayed inside glass-fronted cabinets, mounted in shadow boxes, or utilised functionally during formal dining events to add a layer of historical contrast to contemporary table settings.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a specialist non-abrasive silver polish and a soft microfibre cloth, and stored in a tarnish-resistant cloth or dry environment to prevent oxidisation.
