FAQs

Hanau silver refers to items produced by silversmiths in Hanau, Germany, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often mimicking earlier historical styles.

These pieces were typically cast in solid sterling silver, featuring detailed repousse work, chasing, and hand-engraved motifs executed by skilled artisans.

Authenticity is generally determined by examining pseudo-hallmarks or maker marks stamped on the base, alongside the characteristic weight and high-relief chased detailing typical of German workshops.

Such decorative objects work well as focal points on a coffee table, mantelpiece, or bookshelf, adding a touch of metallic texture and historical interest to modern spaces.

Silver should be cleaned sparingly using a non-abrasive specialist silver cloth to maintain its patina, avoiding harsh liquid dips that can strip away aged oxidisation in recessed areas.
