FAQs

Cutlery rests were utilised during formal Victorian dining to keep used knives and forks elevated above the tablecloth between courses, thereby preventing stains and maintaining table etiquette.

These items are typically crafted from solid sterling silver, shaped through casting or stamping, and finished with hand-engraved details and British hallmarks indicating the assay office, date, and maker.

Authentic pieces feature clear British hallmarks including a lion passant for sterling silver, a date letter, a monarchs head or duty mark for the period, and makers marks, alongside appropriate age-related tarnishing and wear.

They can be displayed on a dining table for formal dinner parties, or utilised within a cabinet display to add metallic sheen and historical detail to a dining room setting.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a non-abrasive silver cloth or specialist polish to preserve the patina and hallmarks, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage the surface.
