FAQs

Silver gilt, also known as vermeil, involves coating sterling silver with a thin layer of gold. This technique was highly popular during the Georgian era to create opulent tableware and decorative objects that combined the durability of silver with the rich lustre of gold.

Items from this period were typically crafted from sterling silver, often using casting and repousse techniques to create deep relief ornamentation. The gold wash was traditionally applied using a mercury amalgamation process before safer electroplating methods were developed later in the nineteenth century.

Authentic pieces feature clear hallmarks stamped onto the metal, typically including the makers mark, standard mark for sterling silver, a duty mark indicating tax payment, and a date letter corresponding to the assay office and year of production, such as Sheffield in 1825.

These pieces can be incorporated into contemporary settings by placing them on a mantelpiece or dining table to create a focal point, contrasting their ornate metallic texture with minimalist surroundings or organic elements like linen and greenery.

Silver gilt requires careful maintenance to avoid wearing away the gold layer. Cleaning should be done sparingly using a very soft cloth and specialized silver cleaner, avoiding harsh abrasives, ultrasonic cleaners, and excessive rubbing.
