FAQs

Edwardian silver serving tongs gained popularity during the early 20th century as formal dining rituals demanded specialised utensils for delicate foods like sandwiches and pastries. The era is characterised by refined craftsmanship and a continuation of elaborate Victorian dining customs adapted to a lighter aesthetic.

These pieces are typically crafted from solid sterling silver, often featuring hand-pierced or engraved blades and a secure spring mechanism or pivot pin. British pieces from this period are stamped with standard hallmarks indicating the assay office, metal purity, and date letter.

Authenticity is verified through official hallmarks stamped directly into the metal, which include the lion passant for sterling silver, a makers mark, and a date letter corresponding to the assay office records. Weight, patina, and hand-cut piercing details also distinguish genuine antique silver from modern reproductions.

Antique silver can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, arranged on sideboards as part of a tablescape, or used functionally during hosting events to add a layer of historic texture and polish to contemporary dining spaces.

Antique silver should be cleaned infrequently using a dedicated non-abrasive silver polish to preserve the underlying patina and hallmarks. Items ought to be stored in tarnish-resistant cloth in a dry environment to prevent oxidation.
