FAQs

Afternoon tea cutlery from the early 20th century typically reflects Edwardian refinement, featuring slender blades, decorative serrations, and delicate handle materials designed specifically for light meals and pastries.

Authentic period pieces usually combine sterling silver blades and ferrules with natural mother of pearl handles, secured with internal steel pins for structural stability.

Authentication relies on identifying British hallmark stamps on the silver blade, which include the makers mark, the lion passant for sterling silver, the town assay mark, and a date letter corresponding to the specific year of testing.

These pieces can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, used functionally during formal tea services, or presented on a vintage silver tray as a decorative dining table centrepiece.

To preserve both materials, wash the cutlery by hand in warm soapy water without prolonged soaking, dry immediately with a soft cloth, and avoid abrasive silver polishes that can damage the delicate nacre handles.
