FAQs

Fiddle pattern cutlery emerged in France during the mid-eighteenth century before gaining widespread popularity across Britain and Europe in the nineteenth century. Its characteristic handle shape resembles the body of a violin or fiddle, providing a comfortable grip and a clean surface for engraved initials or crests.

Authentic period spoons were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, an alloy comprising 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper for added durability. Solid silver pieces were cast or hand-hammered, whereas silver-plated alternatives became common during the late nineteenth century.

Authenticity is verified by examining the official hallmarks stamped into the metal, which indicate the silver purity, assay office location, year of manufacture, and makers mark. Additionally, hand-engraved monograms and subtle variations in weight and shape distinguish hand-forged antique silver from modern machine-made reproductions.

Antique silver flatware can be displayed as part of a formal dining table setting or arranged inside a glass cabinet or on a sideboard tray as decorative tableware. Combining silver pieces with contemporary ceramics creates a balanced, layered table scheme.

Silver should be polished periodically using a specialized silver polishing cloth or a non-abrasive silver cream to remove tarnishing. Store items in anti-tarnish cloth bags or felt-lined drawers in low-humidity environments to minimize oxidisation.
