FAQs

The Fiddle, Thread and Shell pattern is a traditional 19th-century flatware design characterised by a fiddle-shaped stem, a fine thread border outlining the handle, and a distinct shell motif at the terminal.

Georgian gravy ladles are traditionally crafted from sterling silver, typically marked with standard assay office hallmarks indicating the purity of the metal, makers marks, and date letters.

Authentic Paul Storr pieces typically feature his distinctive PS makers mark alongside official British hallmarking stamps, exceptional neoclassical detailing, and heavy-gauge sterling silver construction.

Antique silver can be mixed seamlessly with contemporary white porcelain and glassware to add historical depth and tactile elegance to a dining scheme.

Antique silver should be washed gently in warm soapy water using a soft cloth, dried thoroughly, and polished sparingly with a non-abrasive silver cream to preserve the patination and hallmarks.
