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

Victorian novelty silver refers to functional silver objects produced during the late nineteenth century that were fashioned into realistic or whimsical shapes, such as animals, birds, or everyday items.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as lost-wax casting, hand chasing, and engraving to create detailed textures like fur or foliage.

Authentic pieces feature full British hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling purity, an assay town mark, a date letter, and a makers mark stamped into the silver surface.

Figurative silver items can be displayed as singular accents on a sideboard, arranged within a glass cabinet, or placed on a tray as part of a curated dining table arrangement.

Clean silver using a soft cloth and specialized silver polish or foam to remove tarnish, avoiding abrasive substances and storing the piece in a dry environment to prevent rapid oxidisation.
