FAQs

Double-handled silver strainers were originally crafted in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries for straining loose tea leaves into cups or filtering pulp from punch and citrus beverages into bowls.

These items were predominantly wrought from sterling silver, featuring hand-drilled or hand-punched perforation patterns, cast handles, and decorative motifs such as gadrooning and shell reliefs.

Authentic pieces carry official British assay office marks, such as the thistle mark for Edinburgh or the tree, fish, and bell for Glasgow, alongside date letters and makers initials.

Small silver objects can be styled on a dining room sideboard top, integrated into a bar cart arrangement, or displayed within a glass-fronted cabinet alongside period hollowware.

Silver should be cleaned with a specialized silver foam or cloth, avoiding abrasive chemicals, and stored in dry conditions to prevent rapid oxidisation and tarnish.
