The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Mid-18th-century Georgian silver flatware is characterised by balanced proportions, Hanoverian or Old English handle patterns, upturned or downturned stems, and generous oval bowls crafted from sterling silver.

Scottish silversmiths of the 18th century predominantly worked in high-grade sterling silver, hand-hammering individual pieces and applying maker marks and town marks unique to Scottish assay offices.

Authentic Georgian silver spoons feature clear assay hallmarks stamped on the stem back, including the lion passant or thistle mark, maker initials, date letter, and monarch duty mark.

Antique silver serving spoons can be styled on dining sideboards, arranged inside glazed display cabinets, or integrated into contemporary place settings to contrast against modern dinnerware.

Antique sterling silver should be washed gently in warm water with mild soap, dried immediately with a soft cloth, and lightly polished with a dedicated silver cloth to maintain tarnish prevention without removing age patination.
