Description

We are delighted to offer this beautiful and decorative Victorian solid silver mug cup made in London by Martin, Hall & Co 1868.

FAQs

Victorian silver spans the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901, characterised by diverse revivals of historical motifs, heavy ornamentation, and exquisite craftsmanship that shifted from classical restraint to elaborate, nature-inspired designs.

These items were typically handcrafted from sterling silver using techniques such as hammering, spinning, casting, and detailed chasing or repousse work, often featuring a gilded interior known as gilt wash.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarks stamped on the metal, which typically include a makers mark, a standard mark indicating sterling purity, a city assay office mark, and a date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

Such historic metalware can be displayed on open shelving, used as a distinctive decorative vessel on a mantelpiece, or incorporated into a tablescape to introduce reflective texture and historical depth.

Antique silver should be cleaned infrequently using a specialist non-abrasive silver polish to preserve the patina, handled with soft cloths or cotton gloves to avoid oils, and stored in a low-humidity environment.
