FAQs

Preserve antique silver by storing it in tarnish-resistant cloth and cleaning it infrequently with a specialized, non-abrasive silver polish to maintain the original patina without wearing down the delicate hallmarks and engravings.

Antique silver tableware can be displayed on a sideboard, within a glass-fronted cabinet, or styled on a dining table to add historical texture and reflective metallic contrast to contemporary or traditional spaces.

Authentic pieces are identified by clear British hallmarks stamped on the metal, which include the makers mark, the lion passant for sterling silver, the town mark, and a date letter corresponding to the specific year of assay.

These utensils are typically crafted from solid sterling silver using traditional casting, forging, and hand-chasing techniques. The handles often feature intricate repousse or engraved foliage motifs, while the pivot screw mechanism allows for smooth cutting action.

Grape shears gained immense popularity during the Victorian era as a specialized dining implement designed for cutting small portions of grapes from a larger bunch at the dinner table. They reflect the refined etiquette and elaborate tablescapes characteristic of 19th-century formal dining.
