FAQs

Novelty silver pepperettes gained immense popularity during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, reflecting a Victorian penchant for whimsical and anthropomorphic designs at the dining table.

These pieces are typically crafted from sterling silver using traditional silversmithing techniques such as casting, chasing, and hand-finishing to create fine details like feathers and facial features.

Authenticity is generally verified through clear hallmarks indicating the assay office, date letter, makers mark, and silver standard, alongside natural ageing and wear consistent with the period.

They make excellent display pieces when grouped on a dining table centrepiece, bar cart, or within a glass-fronted cabinet to add a touch of historic character and whimsy.

Antique silver should be gently cleaned using a specialist micro-abrasive silver polish only when necessary, avoiding harsh dips, and stored in a low-humidity environment to prevent tarnishing.
