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

The tradition of gifting silver items at christenings dates back centuries in Britain, symbolising good fortune and wealth for the recipient. Mugs and cups became standard baptismal gifts during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, often kept as lifelong keepsake heirlooms.

These vessels are predominantly crafted from sterling silver, composed of 92.5 percent pure silver alloyed with copper for structural durability. Decorative designs are frequently executed using repousse and chasing techniques, where metal is hammered from the reverse and front to form raised figurative or architectural relief scenes.

Authentic Chester silver features specific hallmark stamps: a town mark displaying three wheat sheaves and a sword, a makers mark, a date letter, and the lion passant denoting sterling silver purity. The Chester assay office officially operated until its closure in 1962.

An antique silver mug serves as a refined accent piece when displayed on a sideboard, within a glass-fronted cabinet, or atop a bookshelf alongside leather-bound volumes. It can also function as a small vessel for desktop organisation or dried floral arrangements.

Maintain sterling silver by dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and periodically applying a specialized silver polish to remove tarnish. Avoid abrasive cleaners or dipping solutions that can damage detailed repousse metalwork or strip historical patina from recessed areas.
