Victorian silver is characterised by elaborate ornamentation, heavy gauge metal, and a revival of historical motifs such as rococo scrolls and floral repousse work.

These items were typically manufactured from sterling silver using techniques like piercing, chasing, repousse, and casting for the feet, often supported by a robust internal frame.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarks, including a makers mark, standard mark, town mark, and a date letter corresponding to the assay office records.

It can be integrated as a focal point on a dining table or sideboard, functioning either as a standalone decorative object or holding seasonal fruits to add metallic texture.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth, avoiding harsh dips that can strip the natural patina and oxidisation from recessed details.
