FAQs

Clean antique silver infrequently using a soft microfibre cloth and specialised non-abrasive silver polish, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip historical patination.

Place the piece as a focal point on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or open shelving to introduce metallic texture and historical character to contemporary schemes.

Authentic pieces typically bear period hallmarks, makers marks, and silver purity stamps, alongside natural signs of age such as micro-scratches and light oxidisation.

These vessels are typically crafted from sterling or high-grade silver, utilising traditional silversmithing techniques such as hand-raising, repousse, chasing, and hand-engraving.

Silver tea caddies originated in the 17th century when tea was an expensive luxury commodity imported from Asia, requiring secure and airtight containers to preserve its flavour.
