Art deco silver emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, characterised by sleek lines, geometric forms, and a modernist departure from heavy Victorian ornamentation.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, utilising traditional silversmithing techniques such as casting, piercing, and hand-soldering.

Authenticity is verified through British hallmarks stamped onto the metal, typically including the makers mark, the lion passant for sterling silver, the town mark, and a date letter corresponding to the specific year.

It can be displayed functionally on a breakfast table or utilised as a decorative desk organiser for letters and notes within a curated home office setting.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a specialist non-abrasive silver polish and stored in a dry, tarnish-resistant environment when not on display.
