FAQs

Tea strainers became essential accompaniments to afternoon tea during the 19th and early 20th centuries as loose-leaf tea grew in popularity among British households, leading silversmiths to craft elaborate matching stands and bowls.

Traditional tea strainers were primarily fabricated from sterling silver, often featuring pierced bowls and handles constructed from organic materials such as turned wood, bone, or early plastics like Bakelite to prevent heat transfer.

Authentic pieces are identified by inspecting them for official British hallmarks stamped directly onto the metal, which typically include the assay office mark, the standard mark such as the lion passant for sterling silver, and a date letter.

Antique silver tableware can be integrated into contemporary dining spaces by displaying polished pieces on open shelving, sideboards, or bar carts to add reflective metallic contrast and historical texture.

Preserving antique silver involves regular gentle cleaning with a specialised non-abrasive silver polish and a soft microfibre cloth, storing the items in tarnish-resistant cloth when not in use to protect the delicate surface.
