FAQs

During the Victorian era, the rise of the middle class led to an increased demand for elaborate dining accessories and presentation cased cutlery sets, often given as wedding gifts.

These pieces were typically crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as casting, hammering, and detailed chasing, often housed in velvet and satin-lined leather cases.

Authenticity is verified by examining hallmarks stamped on the metal, which indicate the assay office, date letter, makers mark, and the standard of silver.

They can be displayed inside glass-fronted cabinets or styled within a traditional dining room setting to add a layer of historical craftsmanship.

Antique silver should be gently cleaned using a specialist silver cloth and non-abrasive polish only when necessary, and stored in a tarnish-resistant environment away from direct sunlight.
