FAQs

The George II period in English silver is characterised by robust proportions, classical influences, and a transition from plain surfaces to more ornate rococo ornamentation later in the era.

These vessels were typically handcrafted from sterling silver using techniques such as raising, casting for handles and thumbpieces, and soldering, followed by hand-engraving and polishing.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarks indicating the makers mark, sterling standard, assay office, and date letter, alongside period-appropriate construction methods and natural wear patterns.

An antique silver tankard can be displayed as a standalone decorative object on a bookshelf or sideboard, or utilised functionally as a vase for floral arrangements to introduce reflective metallic contrast.

Preservation requires regular dusting with a soft cloth, minimal use of non-abrasive silver polishes only when necessary, and maintaining stable humidity and temperature conditions to prevent tarnishing.
