FAQs

The Georgian era, spanning the reigns of the four King Georges from 1714 to 1830, is characterised by classical proportions, refined craftsmanship, and the heavy influence of Palladian and neoclassical design principles.

Items from this period were typically fabricated from sterling silver, adhering to the 925 standard, and were shaped using traditional hand-forging, casting, and hand-engraving techniques by skilled silversmiths.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarks stamped directly onto the metal, which typically include a makers mark, a standard mark indicating sterling quality, a town mark, and a duty or date letter.

These functional objects add historical texture and metallic contrast when displayed on contemporary writing desks, marble countertops, or within open shelving units alongside modern books.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a specialist non-abrasive silver polish and a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip the natural patina and damage delicate hallmarks.
