FAQs

George II silver flatware, produced between 1727 and 1760, is noted for its transition from heavy Baroque forms to refined Early Georgian and Hanoverian styles. Utensils from this period frequently feature three prongs on forks, upturned handle terminals, and crisp hand-engraved crests or initials.

Authentic British silver flatware of this era was forged from sterling silver, an alloy consisting of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper for structural durability. Each piece was individually hand-hammered from silver bar stock rather than cast or machine-stamped.

Authentic mid-18th-century sterling silver carries a series of stamped hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling quality, the town mark (such as the leopards head for London), a specific date letter, and the registered mark of the silversmith.

Antique silver flatware can be mixed with minimalist porcelain and modern glassware on contemporary dining tables to add historic texture. Alternatively, flatware can be displayed on a dining room sideboard or presented in a felt-lined wooden tray within a glass cabinet.

Wash silver pieces by hand in warm water with mild dish soap and dry immediately with a soft cloth. To remove tarnish and oxidisation, apply a specialised silver polish using gentle, linear strokes, avoiding harsh chemicals or dishwashers.
