Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A runcible spoon is a serving utensil featuring a spoon bowl combined with fork tines, designed for serving items that require scooping and piercing. Popularised during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, these pieces formed part of specialized silver flatware services.

Georgian flatware was predominantly forged from sterling silver, comprising 92.5 percent pure silver alloyed with copper for structural durability. Pieces were hand-crafted by silversmiths using hammering, casting, and hand-engraving techniques.

Authentic period sterling silver displays a complete set of struck hallmarks, typically including the makers mark, lion passant for silver purity, town mark, date letter, and the monarch duty mark. Engraved family crests or monograms were added by hand using gravers.

Antique silver flatware can be integrated into contemporary dining arrangements alongside plain porcelain or stonewares. Displaying individual serving pieces on a sideboard top or within a glass-topped collector box highlights their metalwork and historical detail.

Maintain sterling silver by washing in warm water with mild detergent and drying thoroughly with a soft cloth. Apply specialist silver polish sparingly using a microfibre cloth to remove tarnish, avoiding abrasive compounds that wear down surface engraving.
