FAQs

A Victorian silver sauce ladle is a specialized piece of 19th-century flatware designed for serving sauces, gravies, and dressings at formal dining tables.

Mid-19th-century flatware was typically forged or cast from sterling silver with a 925 purity standard and finished with hand-chased or die-stamped ornamentation such as scroll and shell motifs.

Authentic British sterling silver pieces feature a full set of assay hallmarks, including the Lion Passant purity mark, a city assay mark, a date letter, and a makers mark.

Antique silver flatware can be displayed on a sideboard within a modern dining room or layered alongside contemporary ceramic tableware during formal entertaining.

Silver should be hand-washed in warm soapy water, rinsed thoroughly, and dried with a soft cloth. Regular polish with a specialized silver cream removes oxidisation and maintains its lustre.
