FAQs

Victorian silver spans the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901, characterised by eclectic revivals of Gothic, Renaissance, and Rococo motifs, often featuring heavy repousse and chased ornamentation.

These items typically combine sterling silver for the protective casing and handle with natural badger hair bristles, often engineered with a screw-action mechanism to retract for travel.

Authenticity is verified through British hallmark stamps, which include a makers mark, a standard mark indicating silver purity such as a lion passant, a date letter, and a town assay mark.

Displaying small silver collectibles on a decorative tray within a study or dressing room adds a layer of curated historical interest to contemporary spaces.

Silver should be cleaned infrequently using a non-abrasive specialist cloth to maintain the patina, stored in low-humidity environments, and kept away from direct sunlight and rubber compounds.
