FAQs

Silver gilding involves applying a thin layer of gold to the surface of silver items, a technique traditionally used to enhance the visual appeal and protect the underlying metal from tarnishing.

Swiss silversmiths of this period typically used solid silver, often with high purity standards, shaped through casting, hammering, and detailed manual channelling before undergoing chemical or electrochemical gilding.

Authenticity is usually verified through makers marks, silver purity hallmarks, weight, and natural wear patterns on the gold wash that reveal the silver base underneath over time.

Silver gilt should be cleaned sparingly using non-abrasive cloths designed for precious metals, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip away the delicate gold layer.

Antique silver pieces can be displayed within glass cabinets, mounted in shadow boxes, or utilised thoughtfully on dining sideboards to add historic texture and metallic contrast to contemporary spaces.
