FAQs

Silver baby rattles and teethers became popular christening gifts in the 18th and 19th centuries, symbolizing status and protection. Silversmiths created intricate novelty designs, often incorporating animal figures, bells, and natural teething materials like mother of pearl, bone, or coral.

Traditional silver teethers typically combined sterling silver mounts or whistles with natural teething handles made from mother of pearl, bone, ivory, or coral. A smooth ivory, bone, or celluloid ring was frequently attached at the top to allow attachment to clothing or cribs.

Authentic Chester silver items bear distinct British hallmarks, including the Chester assay office mark featuring a shield with three wheat sheaves and a sword. They also carry a makers mark, a silver fineness mark (such as the lion passant for sterling silver), and a date letter.

Small antique silver objects can be displayed inside velvet-lined shadow boxes, curio cabinets, or arranged atop stacked books on a bookshelf. They are frequently integrated into curated displays of vintage silver novelties and christening keepsakes.

Silver components should be gently wiped with a soft microfiber silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish. Natural elements such as mother of pearl should never be submerged in water or chemical silver dips, as harsh liquids can degrade organic materials and loosen fitted adhesives.
