FAQs

A Georgian silver loving cup is a two-handled vessel manufactured in Great Britain between 1714 and 1830. These cups were typically produced in sterling silver and featured hand-engraved motifs, cast handles, and circular pedestal bases.

Scottish silver from the late 18th century was produced from standard sterling silver using hand-hammering, casting, and hand-chasing techniques. Bright-cut engraving was frequently applied to create reflective geometric patterns and coats of arms.

Authentic pieces feature full hallmark sets stamped by the Edinburgh assay office, including the castle city mark, the thistle assay mark, the monarchs profile duty mark, a specific date letter, and the registered makers mark.

Antique silver cups function as table centrepieces, decorative mantelpiece accents, or styling objects on bookcases and sideboards. They add structured metalwork and historical contrast to both traditional and modern modern interiors.

Clean silver using a soft cloth and specialized non-abrasive silver polish to avoid damaging fine engraving. Store items in low-humidity environments inside felt or silver-cloth bags to minimize tarnishing and oxidisation.
