FAQs

Silver teaspoons became prominent in Europe during the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries alongside the popularity of tea drinking. By the Victorian era, specialised sets of silver teaspoons and demitasse coffee spoons were crafted with intricate hand-engraved motifs for formal afternoon tea service.

High-grade sterling silver, consisting of 92.5 per cent pure silver alloyed with copper for structural rigidity, was the standard material. The handles and bowls were drop-forged or cast, followed by hand-chasing, engraving, or embossing to create detailed decorative patterns.

Authentic British silver spoons feature official assay hallmarks stamped onto the stem or the reverse of the bowl. These include the lion passant mark for sterling silver, an assay office symbol, a date letter, and a registered makers mark.

Antique silver spoons can be displayed inside a velvet-lined tray on a sideboard top or integrated into daily table settings. Pairing vintage silver flatware with contemporary porcelain creates a refined, eclectic dining presentation.

Clean silver spoons using a soft silver polishing cloth or a non-abrasive liquid polish to remove tarnish while preserving the natural depth of the engraving. Store them in silver-cloth pouches or acid-free paper in a dry place to minimise oxidisation.
