Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
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.

During the Edwardian era (19011910), afternoon tea became an elaborate social ritual requiring specialized serving pieces. Silversmiths produced full-sized and miniature tiered stands to display pastries, petit fours, and sweetmeats, reflecting the periods preference for light, classical design proportions.

Authentic pieces were typically crafted from sterling silver, consisting of 92.5 percent pure silver alloyed with copper for structural durability. The frame wirework was drawn and soldered, while the shallow trays were lathe-turned or hand-spun before being fitted into the structure.

Authenticity is verified through official British hallmarks stamped onto the piece, which include the lion passant for sterling quality, an assay office mark, a date letter corresponding to the Edwardian period, and a registered makers mark.

A miniature tiered stand can be incorporated into contemporary decor on a sideboard, vanity table, or shelving unit. It functions well as a decorative accent for displaying small trinkets, jewellery, or wrapped confections.

To prevent tarnish, silver should be wiped regularly with a soft cotton cloth and cleaned periodically using a specialized, non-abrasive silver polish. Storing silver items in acid-free tissue or anti-tarnish bags minimizes oxidisation caused by atmospheric humidity.
