FAQs

A sardine server is a specialised piece of flatware designed in the nineteenth century specifically for lifting delicate preserved sardines from tins or serving dishes without breaking them.

These servers often featured hand-engraved silver blades attached to turned wood, horn, or mother-of-pearl handles using fitted silver ferrules.

Authentic French silver pieces generally bear specific state hallmarks, such as the Minerva head mark introduced in 1838 or earlier regional guarantee stamps, alongside makers marks set inside a lozenge shape.

Antique serving pieces can be integrated into contemporary table settings as functional conversation items during seafood courses or displayed alongside other vintage silver flatware.

Clean the silver blade gently with a specialized silver polishing cloth, avoiding submersing wooden handles in water to prevent swelling, warping, or loosening of the fitting.
