FAQs

The George V period spans the reign of King George V from 1910 to 1936, characterised by a revival of traditional Georgian and Regency designs alongside early Art Deco influences in British silver manufacturing.

Antique dessert spoons from this era are typically crafted from sterling silver, possessing a fineness of 925 parts per thousand, and are traditionally shaped using methods such as drop-forging, hand-hammering, and detailed die-stamping for decorative motifs.

Authentic pieces bear official British hallmark stamps, which typically include the makers mark, the lion passant indicating sterling silver, the town assay mark such as the leopards head for London or anchor for Birmingham, and a specific date letter corresponding to the reign of George V.

Antique silver flatware can be paired with contemporary minimalist crockery and linen table runners to create a sophisticated, layered tablescape that contrasts modern simplicity with historic craftsmanship.

Antique silver should be washed gently in warm water with a mild, phosphate-free dish soap, dried thoroughly with a soft microfibre cloth, and polished periodically using a specialized non-abrasive silver polish to prevent tarnish accumulation.
