FAQs

A flagon is a large vessel used for serving liquids, traditionally wine or communion spirits, characterised by a hinged lid, handle, and pouring spout. During the mid-19th century, silver-plated flagons became widely produced for both church services and domestic dining rooms following the commercial introduction of electroplating.

These pieces were typically formed from base metals such as nickel silver or Britannia metal, which were then electroplated with a fine layer of silver. Lids, handles, and thumbpieces were often cast separately and attached using solder, with decorative features added by hand-engraving.

Authentic Victorian pieces often feature manufacturer makers marks, electroplate stamps such as EPNS or EPBM, and period-specific features like ribbed mouldings or thumbpieces. Hand-engraved presentation inscriptions or heraldic crests from the 19th century also indicate period authenticity.

Display a pair of antique silver flagons on a dining sideboard or within a glass-fronted cabinet to act as architectural accents. Their polished metallic surfaces contrast against dark wood, matte backdrops, or natural stone surfaces.

Clean silver-plated items gently using a soft, lint-free cloth and a specialised silver polish formulated for electroplated items. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can wear through the silver layer to the base metal underneath.
