FAQs

The George III period spanned from 1760 to 1820, characterised by a transition from ornate Rococo curves to more restrained, classical Neoclassical lines influenced by architects like Robert Adam.

These items were traditionally fashioned from sterling silver using techniques such as hammering, casting, piercing, and hand-engraving, often featuring maker marks and town hallmarks stamped into the metal.

Authentic pieces bear genuine hallmarks including a standard mark, a leopards head for London or equivalent provincial town mark, a date letter indicating the specific year, and a makers mark.

Antique silver adds a layer of historical contrast when placed on contemporary minimalist sideboards or dining tables, reflecting light and introducing textural variety to clean spaces.

Antique silver should be cleaned infrequently using non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth, and stored in a low-humidity environment to prevent excessive tarnishing and oxidisation.
