FAQs

The Hanoverian pattern originated in the early 18th century, characterised by its distinctive rat-tail spine and tapered, curved handle design, remaining popular throughout the Victorian era.

Victorian serving tongs were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, hallmarked with assay office symbols, date letters, and maker marks to guarantee metal purity.

Authentic pieces feature crisp hallmarks stamped into the metal, natural wear patterns consistent with age, and traditional hand-pierced or engraved detailing rather than modern cast replicas.

Antique silver items add texture and reflective quality when displayed openly on sideboards, within glass-fronted cabinets, or incorporated practically into contemporary tablescapes.

Clean sterling silver gently using a specialised microfibre cloth and non-abrasive silver polish, storing pieces in tarnish-resistant wraps in controlled humidity environments.
