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.

Chester was home to one of Britains major historic assay offices until its closure in 1962. Silver items carrying the Chester hallmark, represented by a shield featuring three wheat sheaves and a sword, are widely collected due to the offices distinct history and production output.

Antique silver frames typically consist of a thin sheet of sterling silver die-stamped or shaped over a wooden body or weighted core. The reverse is generally finished with velvet, leather, or hardwood, complete with an easel stand to support tabletop display.

Authentic British pieces bear a full set of hallmarks stamped directly into the silver border, including the sponsor mark, fineness mark (such as the lion passant for sterling silver), assay town mark, and date letter.

A polished silver frame provides a reflective accent that bridges traditional and contemporary spaces. Grouping multiple silver frames of varying sizes on a sideboard, desk, or mantelpiece creates a curated display alongside modern ceramics and books.

Maintain silver frames by polishing them gently with a soft microfibre cloth and specialized silver polish to remove oxidisation. Avoid submerging the frame in water or exposing the fabric backing to harsh chemical cleaners.
