FAQs

Edwardian silver is characterised by lighter, more delicate designs often influenced by eighteenth-century French and English neoclassical styles, frequently featuring pierced work, repousse decoration, and intricate scrollwork.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, utilising techniques such as casting, piercing, embossing, and repousse work to create high-relief ornamentation, often combined with wooden linings or interior grills.

Authentic pieces bear clear British hallmarks, which typically include a lion passant indicating sterling standard, a city mark for the assay office, a date letter for the year of assay, and a makers mark.

Antique silver accessories provide reflective metallic accents that complement both contemporary and traditional spaces, functioning well as decorative desk objects, dressing table items, or mantelpiece displays.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a non-abrasive microfibre cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding excessive scrubbing to preserve original hallmarks, fine detailing, and natural patina.
