FAQs

The silver salver originated as a shallow standing dish used in European courts for tasting food and drink to prevent poisoning. By the 18th century in Britain, it evolved into a formal serving tray utilised by butters to present letters, calling cards, or beverages.

Salvers are traditionally crafted from sterling silver or silver plate, shaped by hand-raising, casting, or spinning the metal. Edges frequently feature applied cast borders such as pie crust, scroll, or gadroon designs, often supported on three or four feet.

Authentic British silver bears a series of standardized punch marks known as hallmarks. These typically include a makers mark, a standard mark indicating silver purity such as the lion passant, a town mark for the assay office, and a date letter signifying the specific year of testing.

An antique silver salver can be used as a reflective centrepiece on a dining table, styled on a sideboard to hold crystal glassware, or placed upon a coffee table to corral decorative objects and candles, adding a layer of metallic contrast to modern spaces.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using specialist non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth to protect the patina and delicate details. Items ought to be stored in tarnish-resistant cloth bags in a low-humidity environment to prevent oxidation.
