FAQs

Edwardian silver encompasses items produced during the reign of King Edward VII from 1901 to 1910, known for a revival of historical styles, particularly neoclassical and floral motifs, alongside whimsical animal figures.

These pieces were typically crafted using sterling silver, often shaped through casting or repousse techniques, and frequently incorporated glass or paste eyes for figural animal designs.

Authenticity is verified by examining hallmarks stamped on the metal, which indicate the assay office, standard of silver purity such as the lion passant, and the date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

They can be displayed on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or glass cabinet as sculptural accent pieces that introduce metallic texture and historical character to contemporary settings.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a non-abrasive silver cloth to maintain the natural patina and prevent damage to delicate details or soldered joints.
