Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

During the Edwardian era, silversmiths designed novelty tableware shaped as everyday objects, sporting gear, and wildlife, including realistic miniature shotgun cartridges used as pepper casters.

These items were typically crafted from solid sterling silver, often incorporating parcel-gilt bases to imitate brass cartridge rims and treated or patinated silver to represent the cartridge casing.

Authentic British silver from this period displays clear hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling purity, an assay office mark, a date letter between 1901 and 1910, and a registered makers mark.

Novelty silver pieces serve as decorative conversation elements when arranged on sideboards, tray tables, or formal dining settings alongside contemporary glassware and dark wood surfaces.

Empty pepper contents prior to long-term storage, as organic residue causes oxidisation, wash gently in warm soapy water, dry thoroughly, and buff using a soft silver cloth.
