The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

During the Victorian era, presenting a silver cup or mug at a baptism or christening was a popular tradition signifying good fortune and wealth. These pieces were often customized with detailed hand-engravings, including flora, foliage, or personal inscriptions.

Most high-grade pieces were crafted from solid sterling silver or silver plate, frequently featuring a wash of gold gilding (vermeil) on the interior to prevent acidic liquids from reacting with the silver metal.

Authentic silver pieces from this period display official British assay hallmarks or makers marks, indicating the purity, location, and date of manufacture. Hand-engraved motifs, cast handles, and beaded borders are typical indicators of late 19th-century craftsmanship.

Small silver holloware pieces can be styled as accent decor on a sideboard top, bookshelf, or desk, serving as miniature vases for short floral stems or decorative desktop holders.

To prevent heavy oxidisation, silver should be dusted regularly and gently polished using a specialised silver polishing cloth. Avoid harsh chemical dips or abrasive pastes that can strip fine surface detailing or thin silver plating.
