FAQs

Edwardian silver often revived 18th-century Neo-Classical motifs, featuring delicate engraving such as swags, bows, ribbons, and floral garlands. This design aesthetic emphasised symmetry, lightness, and classical elegance compared to the heavier ornamentation of the preceding Victorian period.

Pieces from this era were raised or spun from standard sterling silver, composed of 92.5 percent pure silver and 7.5 percent alloy metals for structural strength. Decorative details were applied using precision hand-engraving, chasing, and soldered wire rims or handles.

Authentic British sterling silver bears a series of official assay marks stamped into the metal. Chester pieces are identified by the city mark depicting three wheat sheaves and a sword, alongside the lion passant for sterling purity, a specific date letter, and a makers initials.

Antique silver tableware serves as an elegant accent when displayed on a sideboard top, bookshelf, or within a glass cabinet. Small silver cups can also be repurposed creatively as refined vanity catchalls or decorative accents on a tray.

Maintain sterling silver by dusting regularly with a soft cloth and occasionally polishing with a specialised non-abrasive silver cream to remove tarnish. Avoid dipping fluids or harsh chemical cleaners, and store in low-humidity environments to minimise oxidisation.
