FAQs

Silver should be gently cleaned using a soft microfibre cloth and specialized non-abrasive silver polish only when necessary, avoiding harsh dips that can damage historic patination.

These small objects serve as sophisticated accents when displayed on coffee tables, bookshelves, or desks within traditional or transitional interior schemes.

Authentic pieces usually bear official hallmarks indicating the assay office, silver standard (such as .925 sterling), date letter, and makers mark stamped directly onto the metal.

Mechanical bookmarks from this era were predominantly crafted from solid sterling silver, sometimes featuring gold wash accents or integrated mechanisms made of durable steel alloys.

Art Deco design typically features clean geometric lines, streamlined forms, and a departure from heavy Victorian ornamentation, reflecting modernity and functional elegance.
