FAQs

Georgian silver dates from the reigns of the four Georges (1714 to 1830) and is characterised by fine hand-hammered construction, traditional assay office hallmarks, and classical decorative motifs reflecting the prevailing architectural and design influences of the period.

These items were typically forged from sterling silver using traditional hand-raising and hammering techniques by skilled silversmiths, often featuring cast or applied elements such as shell-shaped bowls and engraved crests.

Authenticity is verified by examining makers marks, town marks, and standard sterling hallmarks struck directly into the metal, alongside characteristic wear patterns, manual construction irregularities, and natural oxidisation.

Historic silver can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, incorporated into dining table settings, or mounted in shadow boxes to add a layer of historical contrast and polished metallic sheen to modern spaces.

Antique silver should be washed infrequently using mild soap and warm water, dried thoroughly with a soft cloth, and polished sparingly with a non-abrasive silver cream to preserve the underlying metal and historic patination.
