FAQs

Victorian silver frequently incorporates revivalist motifs, heavy ornamentation, and intricate casting, reflecting the industrial manufacturing advancements and stylistic shifts of the 19th century.

These items are typically crafted from sterling silver, defined as 92.5 percent silver content, often featuring gold-washed bowls, known as vermeil.

Authentic pieces carry official British assay office hallmarks, including a standard mark like the lion passant, a date letter, and a makers mark.

Antique silver pieces add historical contrast when paired with minimalist modern dinnerware or displayed within glass-front cabinets.

Clean sterling silver using non-abrasive cloths and specialist silver dips infrequently to prevent the loss of detail and original patination.
