FAQs

The Georgian era spans the reigns of the first four British monarchs named George, from 1714 to 1830, characterised by classical proportions, refined craftsmanship, and a transition from ornate Rococo to more restrained Neoclassical designs.

Georgian flatware and small silver items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, typically marked with standard assay hallmarks, and fashioned using traditional hand-forging, stamping, and hand-engraving techniques.

Authentic Georgian silver can be verified through clear hallmarking systems, which usually include a makers mark, a standard mark for sterling silver, a date letter indicating the year of assay, and a town mark for the office where it was tested.

Antique silver can be integrated into contemporary spaces by displaying items within glass cabinets, on polished wooden surfaces, or used functionally during dining to create a sophisticated contrast between historical craftsmanship and modern minimalism.

Antique silver should be stored in a dry environment, handled with soft cloths to avoid scratching, and polished sparingly with a specialised non-abrasive silver cleaner to preserve the underlying metal and any authentic patina.
