FAQs

Hanau silver refers to items produced in the German town of Hanau during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often crafted in the style of earlier historic periods such as the Renaissance or Baroque.

These items were typically crafted from solid silver, often utilizing techniques such as repousse and chasing to create deeply embossed, highly detailed figural scenes.

Authenticity is generally determined by examining the makers marks or pseudo-hallmarks stamped on the metal, which often mimic earlier German, Dutch, or English marks rather than standard official assay office stamps.

Placing a small decorative silver box on a coffee table, dressing table, or mantelpiece adds a touch of metallic sheen and historical texture to contemporary spaces.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a soft microfiber cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding abrasive materials that can wear down delicate embossed details.
