FAQs

Silver gilt, also known as vermeil, is sterling silver that has been coated with a thin layer of gold. In the Victorian era, this was traditionally achieved through fire gilding using a mercury amalgam or through early electroplating techniques.

These items are typically crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as hand-raising, spinning, or casting for handles and bases. The surface decoration often combines hand-engraving, chasing, and the application of a gold wash to the interior and exterior.

Authenticity is generally verified through official hallmarks stamped into the metal, which typically include a makers mark, a standard mark indicating sterling silver, a city assay office mark, and a date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

Such pieces can be displayed on open shelving, mantelpieces, or inside glass-fronted cabinets as decorative accents. Their warm metallic lustre complements both contemporary minimalist spaces and traditional dark wood interiors.

Silver gilt should be cleaned sparingly using a soft, lint-free cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap and water when necessary. Standard silver dips and aggressive polishing compounds should be avoided, as they can strip away the delicate gold layer.
