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.

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

Knife rests emerged during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as dining etiquette evolved, serving to keep soiled cutlery elevated off linen tablecloths between courses during formal meals.

Pieces from the George VI era were typically cast or struck in sterling silver containing 92.5 percent pure silver, with hand-finished joinery connecting the end supports to the central bar.

Authentic British pieces carry official assay office hallmarks, including the lion passant mark for sterling silver, a town mark, a makers mark, and a specific date letter corresponding to the George VI reign.

These functional objects can be incorporated into modern formal dinner table settings alongside contemporary cutlery or displayed decoratively on a sideboard top.

To maintain silver, polish gently using a soft cotton cloth and a specialised silver cream, then store in an anti-tarnish fabric pouch away from excessive moisture.
