FAQs

The Edwardian period, spanning from 1901 to 1910, was characterised by elegance, lighter designs, and a revival of eighteenth-century motifs following the heavier Victorian aesthetic.

These pieces were typically crafted from solid sterling silver using traditional smithing methods such as pressing, folding, and hand-soldering, often featuring gilded interiors to prevent corrosion from tobacco.

Authenticity is verified by inspecting the hallmarks stamped into the metal, which include the makers mark, the sterling standard lion passant, the city mark of three lions and a sword for Chester, and a date letter corresponding to the specific year of assay.

Small antique metal objects add tactile interest and historical contrast when displayed atop a stack of art books on a coffee table or curated inside a glass cabinet.

Silver should be cleaned infrequently using a non-abrasive microfibre cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding harsh dips that can strip the natural patination accumulated over time.
