FAQs

The Georgian era, spanning the reigns of the four King Georges (1714 to 1830), is characterised by classical proportions, refined craftsmanship, and the evolution of functional dining utensils from heavy baroque ornamentation towards sleeker, neoclassical designs.

Authentic pieces are crafted from sterling silver (925 fineness) and typically feature a series of stamped hallmarks including a makers mark, a date letter indicating the year of assay, a town mark, and the lion passant denoting standard sterling purity.

Verification involves examining the clarity and depth of the hallmarks, checking for signs of period-appropriate wear and hand-finishing, and verifying the weight and gauge of the silver against known manufacturing practices of the specific decade.

Antique silver pieces add historical depth and tactile contrast to modern tablescapes and can be thoughtfully integrated alongside contemporary minimalist dinnerware for layered, eclectic dining displays.

Antique silver should be washed gently by hand using mild, phosphate-free soap and warm water, dried thoroughly with a soft cloth, and polished infrequently with a non-abrasive silver cloth to preserve the natural patina and hallmarks.
