Art Deco design, prominent from the 1920s to the 1930s, is characterised by geometric patterns, stylised motifs, symmetrical lines, and machine-age influences applied to luxury objects.

These items were typically crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as engine turning, hand engraving, and internal gilding to protect the metal from the gum on postage stamps.

Authenticity is verified by examining the hallmarks for assay office stamps, date letters, and maker marks, alongside checking for period-appropriate wear and traditional construction methods.

Small silver objects add metallic accent and historical interest when displayed inside glass cabinets, on decorative trays on coffee tables, or alongside books on a mantelpiece.

Antique silver should be cleaned infrequently using specialised non-abrasive silver polish and a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can remove desirable patination.
