FAQs

Silver christening sets emerged as traditional baptismal and naming gifts during the 19th century, symbolising good fortune and practical utility for a childs early dining needs.

These sets were primarily crafted from solid sterling silver or silver plate, housed inside fitted presentation boxes made of wood, leatherette, silk, and velvet.

Authentic pieces feature official British hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling silver, an assay office mark, a date letter, and a makers stamp.

A cased set can be displayed open inside a glass cabinet, on a sideboard top, or alongside other silver artefacts to add historical depth to a room.

Clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth and specialized silver polish, and store within the original silk and velvet lining to prevent oxidisation.
