The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A loving cup is a traditional two-handled vessel used historically at banquets, weddings, and formal ceremonies for shared toasts, symbolizing friendship and unity.

19th-century loving cups were typically crafted from electroplated nickel silver or Sheffield plate, frequently featuring a gilding layer inside the bowl to protect the base metal from corrosion caused by acidic liquids.

Authentic pieces often feature period electroplate hallmarks or makers marks, copper or base metal showing through high-wear areas, hand-engraved monograms, and cast handles attached with visible joinery.

An antique silver loving cup can be displayed on a sideboard top, bookshelf, or mantelpiece as a decorative centrepiece, or utilised as a vessel for dried floral arrangements.

Clean gently using a soft cloth and specialized silver polish, avoiding abrasive scrubbers on the delicate gilt interior, and store in a low-humidity environment to prevent oxidisation.
