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 Victorian period, silver serving tongs were specialised dining utensils designed for serving specific items such as asparagus, pastries, or chops without directly touching the food.

These pieces were typically crafted from solid sterling silver or silver plate, featuring hand-pierced blades, cast spring mechanisms, and engraved armorial crests or monograms.

Authentic British silver items feature a set of hallmarks indicating the purity mark, assay office, date letter, and maker mark, alongside characteristic nineteenth-century decorative work.

Antique silver serving utensils can be used as functional service pieces during formal dining, displayed on a sideboard tray, or styled alongside modern tableware to create textural contrast.

Clean silver with a soft cloth and specialized non-abrasive silver polish, washing gently in warm soapy water and drying thoroughly to prevent tarnish and oxidisation.
