FAQs

Antique silver should be washed infrequently using mild soapy water, dried with a soft microfibre cloth, and polished sparingly with a non-abrasive silver cream to preserve the natural patina and hallmarks.

An antique silver dish can serve as a reflective accent piece on a coffee table or mantelpiece, contrasting clean modern surfaces with traditional metallic texture.

Authenticity is verified through official British hallmarks stamped directly onto the metal, which indicate the standard of silver, the assay office, the makers mark, and the specific year of production.

These items were crafted from sterling silver, typically containing 92.5% pure silver, shaped through hand-hammering, casting, and meticulous piercing or fretwork.

Victorian silver is characterised by ornate ornamentation, heavily influenced by historical revivalism and nature, often featuring intricate repousse, chasing, and piercing techniques.
