FAQs

A coffee biggin is a type of coffee pot equipped with a built-in straining apparatus, which became particularly popular during the Georgian period for brewing coffee without grounds entering the cup.

These vessels were typically crafted from sterling silver, often featuring heat-insulated handles made from carved wood such as ebony or fruitwood, alongside internal silver strainers.

Authentic pieces generally feature clear hallmarks indicating the assay office, date letter, makers mark, and standard mark, alongside traditional hand-raised construction techniques and weight appropriate to the period.

This type of object can be displayed as a focal point on a sideboard, bar cart, or open shelving to introduce metallic texture and historical contrast to modern spaces.

Antique silver should be washed gently in warm water with mild, phosphate-free soap and dried immediately with a soft microfiber cloth, avoiding abrasive commercial dips that can strip the historic patina.
