FAQs

George III silver casters date from the mid-to-late 18th century during the Georgian era, a period defined by refined dining customs and elaborate table settings where sugar, spices and condiments were dispensed with functional elegance.

These items were traditionally fashioned from sterling silver using techniques such as spinning, raising from a flat sheet, hand-piercing the bonnet covers, and applying cast finials and mouldings.

Authentic pieces are identified by clear hallmarks stamped into the metal, indicating the makers mark, assay office (such as London), date letter, and the sterling standard lion passant, alongside appropriate weight and tool marks consistent with 18th-century manufacturing.

A silver caster can be displayed on a sideboard top or within a glazed cabinet to introduce metallic texture, historical depth, and refined craftsmanship to contemporary or traditional table settings.

Preserve antique silver by storing it in a low-humidity environment, handling it with clean gloves to prevent skin oils from causing tarnishing, and cleaning it infrequently using professional silver polish and a soft cloth.
