FAQs

A hook-end basting spoon is an 18th-century dining utensil featuring an elongated handle with a turned-over hook at the terminal. This design prevented the heavy serving utensil from sliding into deep roasting pans or soup tureens.

Georgian Irish silver items were hand-forged from solid sterling silver, stamped with official Dublin assay hallmarks to verify purity, and frequently presented in wooden boxes lined with silk and velvet.

Authentic pieces feature clear stamped hallmarks including the Hibernia mark, the crowned harp, a specific date letter, and the registered makers mark unique to silversmiths active in Dublin.

Cased silver pieces can be displayed open on a dining room sideboard or inside a glazed display cabinet to complement classical tableware arrangements.

Silver should be cleaned periodically using a soft cloth and specialized non-abrasive silver cream to remove oxidisation, then stored in fitted silk or velvet cases to prevent scratching.
