The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Silver game bird ornaments gained popularity during the 19th century in Continental Europe, particularly in Germany and Belgium. They were used primarily as table decorations and pepper pots during elaborate formal dining courses.

These figures were typically cast in silver and finished by hand using chasing and engraving techniques to create intricate feather textures and realistic anatomical details.

Authentic pieces usually feature official Belgian hallmarking stamps, such as maker marks or purity punch marks, often located under the wings, tail feathers, or bases.

They can be displayed as a pair on a sideboard, arranged at the centre of a dining table, or incorporated into a bookcase display alongside leather-bound volumes.

Clean silver using a soft cloth and a gentle silver polish formulated for antiques, avoiding harsh scrubbing that can wear down delicate hand-chased details.
