FAQs

Art Nouveau emerged in the late 19th century, peaking between 1890 and 1910, characterised by its adoption of organic, asymmetrical lines inspired by natural forms such as plants and flowers.

These pieces typically combined a solid sterling silver front repousse or cast over a wooden wooden core, backed with velvet, silk, or watered moire fabric and supported by a hinged wooden strut.

Authenticity is verified through British hallmarks stamped on the metal, which typically include a makers mark, a standard mark indicating silver purity such as the lion passant, a town assay office mark, and a date letter.

Such decorative objects add a layer of historical contrast when placed on contemporary side tables, mantels, or shelves, pairing well with minimalist surfaces that highlight their intricate craftsmanship.

Silver should be cleaned infrequently with a specialist non-abrasive silver cloth to remove tarnish while preserving the original patina, avoiding liquid dips that can damage organic recesses and backing materials.
