FAQs

Exeter was one of the prominent provincial assay offices in England, operating for centuries to test and hallmark precious metals produced or retailed in the West Country, making provincial pieces highly sought after by collectors.

These items are traditionally crafted from sterling silver, forged and hand-hammered by silversmiths using techniques such as raising, shaping, and applying hallmarks with steel punches.

Authenticity is verified by examining the struck hallmarks on the reverse of the stem, which typically include the makers mark, standard mark, town mark for Exeter, and a date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

They can be used functionally for serving dishes at formal dinners or displayed within a glass-fronted cabinet or on a sideboard to add historic character and metallic contrast to contemporary interiors.

Antique silver should be washed gently in warm, soapy water with a soft cloth, dried thoroughly, and polished sparingly with a non-abrasive silver cream to preserve the underlying patina and definition of the hallmarks.
