FAQs

Military silver includes items commissioned or used by officers messes, regiments, and individual servicemen, often bearing engravings of postings, campaigns, and insignia. These pieces served as functional mess ware and historical records of a military career.

Antique napkin rings are predominantly constructed from solid sterling silver, often formed from thick-gauge sheet metal, soldered at the seam, and weighted or unweighted. They feature hand-engraved, chased, or pierced decorations applied by skilled silversmiths.

Authenticity is verified through British hallmarks stamped on the metal, which indicate the assay office, standard of silver (such as the lion passant for sterling), date letter, and makers mark. Genuine antique pieces also exhibit appropriate age-related wear, hand-engraving techniques, and correct weight for solid metal.

Antique silver can be incorporated into contemporary settings by using small pieces as decorative accents on open shelving, sideboards, or coffee tables. Mixing polished silver with organic textures like linen, wood, and ceramic creates a balanced, layered aesthetic.

Sterling silver should be cleaned periodically with a soft cloth and a specialised silver polish to remove tarnish, avoiding abrasive materials that scratch the surface. Store silver in a dry, tarnish-resistant cloth or container to minimise oxidation when not on display.
