FAQs

In 18th-century homes, small silver salvers or card trays were used by servants to deliver visiting cards, letters, or beverages to residents and guests without direct hand contact.

Georgian silver salvers were typically hammered or cast from sterling silver, featuring hand-engraved armorial crests, molded piecrust rims, and individually cast feet soldered to the base.

Authenticity is determined by British hallmarks, which include a makers mark, town mark, silver standard mark, and date letter stamped into the underside or rim of the piece.

A small silver salver can be placed on a sideboard, desk, or bedside table to hold small items such as keys, jewellery, or desk accessories, adding a metallic texture to contemporary spaces.

Antique silver should be cleaned using a soft cotton cloth and specialized, non-abrasive silver polish to prevent scratching the surface or removing subtle details of engraved crests.
