FAQs

Edwardian silver items, produced during the reign of King Edward VII from 1901 to 1910, are characterised by light, graceful designs often influenced by French eighteenth-century motifs, reflecting the elegance and opulence of the period.

These pieces were typically crafted from solid sterling silver, often featuring hand-engraved, embossed, or repousse decoration, and fitted with delicate link chains and silk linings.

Authenticity is verified by examining the hallmarks stamped on the metal, which indicate the standard of silver, the assay office, and the date letter corresponding to the early twentieth century.

An antique silver purse can be displayed within a glass-fronted cabinet, on a dressing table tray, or inside a shadow box to add a touch of historical metallic texture to a room.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a non-abrasive silver cloth to preserve the natural patination, and stored in a dry, tarnish-resistant environment away from direct sunlight.
