Sterling silver should be stored in anti-tarnish cloth or lined boxes when not in use, washed gently in warm soapy water using a soft sponge, and polished sparingly with a specialized non-abrasive silver cloth to prevent excessive wear on the metal.

Cased silver flatware sets can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets or on sideboards as sculptural objects, bringing a touch of refined modernist craftsmanship and metallic sheen to dining and living spaces.

Authentic pieces bear official hallmarks stamped into the metal, which typically include the makers mark, the standard mark for sterling silver, the assay office mark indicating the location of testing, and a date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

These pieces are typically crafted from sterling silver, conforming to strict fineness standards, often shaped using a combination of traditional smithing techniques such as hand-raising and modern machine fabrication.

Mid-Century Modern silver flatware is characterised by clean lines, minimalist forms, and a departure from traditional ornate Victorian ornamentation, focusing instead on functional elegance and modernist design principles.
