FAQs

Figural cruet sets, particularly those shaped as animals and birds, gained significant popularity during the Victorian period and continued into the mid-20th century as functional dining table accessories that doubled as decorative art objects.

These items are typically crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as casting, chasing, and hand-engraving to create detailed feather textures, often complemented by inset glass or coloured stone eyes.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarks stamped on the metal, indicating the makers mark, standard mark for sterling silver, assay office, and a date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

These pieces function well as tabletop focal points on sideboards or dining tables, adding a touch of whimsical character and metallic contrast to contemporary or traditional room schemes.

Sterling silver should be cleaned periodically with a specialist non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth to remove tarnish, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage intricate surface details and oxidised accents.
