FAQs

Colonial Ceylonese silver refers to decorative and utilitarian silver items crafted in Sri Lanka during British administration, known for blending traditional local silversmithing techniques with European forms.

These items were typically handmade using traditional repousse and chasing techniques, where skilled artisans hammered designs from the reverse to create raised, intricate floral and foliate motifs.

Authenticity is identified through traditional craftsmanship markers such as hand-chased detailing, unmarked or locally struck artisan hallmarks, high-purity silver content, and natural age-related patination.

Place the piece on a dressing table, mantlepiece, or open bookshelf to introduce reflective metallic texture and historical character into a room.

Preserve antique silver by gently dusting with a soft microfiber cloth and using specialised silver polish sparingly only when necessary, avoiding abrasive materials that can damage fine repousse work.
