FAQs

The Georgian period spans the reigns of the four British monarchs named George from 1714 to 1830. Silverware from this era is characterised by classical proportions, meticulous hand-engraving, and robust sterling silver construction.

Silver gilt, also known as vermeil, is sterling silver that has been coated with a thin layer of gold. Historically, this was achieved through a hazardous process called fire gilding, where an amalgam of gold and mercury was applied to the silver and heated.

Authentic pieces feature clear hallmarks stamped into the metal, which typically include the makers mark, a standard mark indicating sterling quality, a town mark, and a date letter corresponding to the specific year of assay.

These pieces can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, mounted in shadow boxes, or presented on sideboards within traditional presentation cases to highlight their historical craftsmanship.

Silver gilt requires gentle care to avoid wearing away the delicate gold layer. Cleaning should be done sparingly using specialised non-abrasive silver cloths, avoiding chemical dips, ultrasonic cleaners, and harsh scrubbing.
