FAQs

Victorian silverware is characterised by elaborate ornamentation, detailed surface engraving, and a strong emphasis on ornate functionality during the 19th century.

These utensils typically combine sterling silver or silver-plate blades with handles carved from natural mother-of-pearl, bone, or ivory.

Authenticity is usually verified through British hallmarks stamped on the metal, hand-engraved detailing, and the natural grain and weight of genuine mother-of-pearl handles.

Mixing period cutlery with modern minimalist tableware creates a curated tablescape that highlights historical craftsmanship and texture.

Items should be hand-washed gently with mild soap, dried immediately with a soft cloth, and stored away from harsh chemicals and direct sunlight.
