The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

During the late 19th century, silversmiths began producing whimsical figural tableware, departing from traditional classicism. Items shaped as birds, animals, and everyday objects became popular conversation pieces on formal dining tables across Great Britain.

These items were predominantly cast or raised from sterling silver, meeting the British standard of 925 parts per thousand pure silver. Inset elements, such as glass or faceted garnet beads, were frequently employed to form realistic animal eyes.

Authentic pieces bear official British hallmark stamps, including a makers mark, town mark, lion passant for sterling purity, and a date letter. A sovereigns head duty mark may also be present on pieces produced before 1890.

Figural condiments serve as intriguing decorative accents on a modern sideboard, mantlepiece, or open kitchen shelving. They can also be integrated into formal table settings to add distinct historical character.

Clean gently using a soft silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish, taking care to avoid harsh chemical liquids around glued or set glass eyes. Store in a dry environment inside anti-tarnish cloth bags to minimise oxidisation.
