FAQs

Edwardian silver reflects the elegance and opulence of the early 20th century, often featuring lighter, refined designs inspired by earlier historical periods alongside whimsical novelty items.

These pieces are predominantly crafted from solid sterling silver, stamped with traditional hallmarks denoting the metal purity, assay office, date letter, and makers mark.

Authenticity is verified by checking for clear stamped hallmarks, assessing the weight and natural tarnish, and examining the craftsmanship and joinery characteristic of the period.

Displaying polished silver items on sideboards, within glass cabinets, or using them practically during formal dining adds a layer of heritage and tactile contrast to contemporary spaces.

Preserve silver by storing it in anti-tarnish cloths, washing it gently with mild soap and warm water when necessary, and avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners that damage the metal.
