FAQs

The Georgian era, spanning the reigns of the four King Georges from 1714 to 1830, encompasses various design movements including Palladianism, Rococo, and Neoclassicism. Silverware from this period is characterised by classical symmetry, fine craftsmanship, and often incorporated intricate piercing and repousse work.

Georgian sugar baskets were typically crafted from sterling silver, adhering to strict assay office standards. Many examples feature fitted cobalt blue glass liners, which were blown and hand-ground to fit the pierced metal framework.

Authentic pieces bear a series of hallmarks struck directly into the metal, which typically include the makers mark, a standard mark indicating sterling purity such as the lion passant, a town mark for the assay office, and a date letter corresponding to the exact year of manufacture.

Antique silver tableware can be displayed on sideboards or open shelving to introduce metallic contrast and historical texture to modern schemes. Pairing polished silver with minimalist surfaces highlights its intricate craftsmanship without cluttering the space.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a non-abrasive microfibre cloth and a specialist silver polish designed to remove tarnish gently without harming the metal or obscuring hallmarks. Avoid harsh chemical dips, and store items in a tarnish-resistant cloth when not on display.
