FAQs

Chinese export silver refers to silver items crafted in China from the late eighteenth century through the mid-twentieth century specifically for export to Western nations. These pieces often combine traditional Western functional forms with hand-chased Chinese design motifs and hallmark stamps.

Antique sugar tongs were predominantly constructed from solid silver, sterling silver, or silver plate. High-purity silver was favoured for its malleability during hand-hammering and engraving, as well as its resistance to corrosion.

Authentic pieces frequently bear makers marks, artisan stamps, or silver purity marks, often combining Chinese characters with Latin initials. Examining the construction details, such as hand-chased engraving and seamless arch springs, also helps verify authenticity.

These items can be styled as functional elements on a tea tray, integrated into a curated dining sideboard display, or presented alongside vintage barware within a glass cabinet.

Maintain silver items by washing them in warm water with mild detergent and drying immediately with a soft cloth. Use specialised non-abrasive silver polish sparingly to prevent wear to delicate engraved details, and store in anti-tarnish cloth bags.
