FAQs

Britannia standard silver refers to a silver alloy with a purity of 95.8 percent, which was the compulsory standard in Great Britain between 1697 and 1720 and remained an optional higher-purity grade during the George I period.

Antique silver basting spoons of the early 18th century were hand-forged from silver ingots, featuring long tapered handles and oval bowls often reinforced with a structural rat-tail ridge at the joint.

Authentic items bear official hallmarks, including the Britannia mark of a seated figure, the lions head erased, a date letter, and the makers initials or mark stamped into the silver.

Antique silver spoons can be displayed flat on a sideboard top, arranged inside glass-topped display cases, or used as accents alongside modern dining tableware.

Silver pieces should be washed gently in warm soapy water, dried thoroughly with a soft cloth, and polished sparingly with specialised silver cream to maintain oxidation and surface depth.
