FAQs

Silver gilt, also known as vermeil, is sterling silver that has been coated with a thin layer of gold. Traditionally, this was achieved through fire gilding, a process involving mercury and gold leaf, or later via electroplating.

British pieces from this era are crafted from sterling silver (925 parts per thousand) and bear standardized assay office hallmarks, a makers mark, and a date letter indicating the specific year of testing.

Authenticity is verified by checking for official hallmarks stamped into the metal, evaluating the weight and gauge of the silver, and observing natural signs of age-related wear and patination on the gilding.

These pieces can be integrated as statement display items on a sideboard, used for formal dessert courses, or styled within a glass cabinet to contrast against contemporary minimalism.

Silver gilt should be cleaned sparingly using a very soft cloth and specialized non-abrasive silver cleaner, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip away the delicate gold layer.
