Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Introduced in the seventeenth century and reaching peak popularity during the Georgian period, silver nutmeg graters were portable personal accessories used to grate fresh nutmeg into beverages and dishes while travelling.

High-status examples were crafted from sterling silver with steel or iron rasp plates mounted internally to facilitate grating without damaging the softer precious metal exterior.

Genuine Georgian pieces feature contemporary hallmarks indicating silver purity, maker marks, duty marks, and date letters, alongside period-correct hand engraving.

These compact decorative objects serve as refined accent pieces when displayed on desk trays, mantelpieces, or inside glazed curio cabinets alongside other antique silver collectables.

Clean silver gently using a soft cotton cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can wear down delicate hand engravings.
