FAQs

Victorian silver gilt dessert spoons are sterling silver utensils coated with a layer of gold, typically featuring ornate repousse or chased decoration on the handles, and were frequently presented in fitted velvet-lined presentation cases for special occasions.

These items are crafted from solid sterling silver utilising traditional smithing techniques such as casting and hammering, then treated with vermeil or electrochemical gold gilding, and housed in custom leatherette or wooden cases lined with silk and velvet.

Authenticity is determined by examining official hallmarks stamped into the metal, which typically include a makers mark, a purity mark indicating sterling standard, a city assay mark such as the Hibernia for Dublin, and a date letter corresponding to the specific year of manufacture.

Cased silver flatware sets add a layer of heritage and tactile interest when displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, on sideboards, or utilised during formal dining occasions to introduce historic craftsmanship to contemporary table settings.

Silver gilt objects require delicate handling to avoid wearing away the thin gold layer; they should be gently dusted with a soft microfiber cloth, avoiding abrasive silver polishes, harsh chemical dips, and ultrasonic cleaning machines.
