FAQs

Afternoon tea flatware gained immense popularity during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods as formal tea ceremonies became a central social ritual for the upper classes, requiring specialised cutlery for cakes, pastries, and fruit.

These forks typically feature sterling silver tines and ferrules combined with organic handles made from natural mother of pearl, carved bone, or ivory, secured with internal pins.

Authentic pieces are identified by clear British hallmarks stamped into the metal, which typically include the assay office mark, the lion passant indicating sterling standard, and a date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

Antique silver and mother of pearl cutlery can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets or used functionally during formal dinner parties to introduce tactile heritage and metallic contrast to contemporary table settings.

Sterling silver should be cleaned periodically using a specialised non-abrasive silver polish, while mother of pearl handles must be washed gently by hand in lukewarm soapy water and dried immediately, avoiding harsh chemicals and dishwashers.
