FAQs

Sampson Mordan was a renowned 19th-century British silversmith and maker, famously associated with patenting the first mechanical pencil and producing high-quality silver novelty items, scent bottles, and desk accessories during the Victorian era.

These pieces were crafted primarily from solid sterling silver, frequently utilising techniques such as casting, hand-engraving, chasing, and the incorporation of threaded screw caps with internal cork or glass stoppers to prevent evaporation.

Authenticity is verified by examining hallmarks stamped directly onto the metal, which typically include a makers mark (such as S.M for Sampson Mordan), a standard mark like the lion passant for sterling silver, a town mark, and a date letter corresponding to the assay office records.

These small decorative objects work effectively when displayed on surface trays, within glass-fronted cabinets, or styled atop stacked art books on a coffee table or mantelpiece to add a layer of historic character to a modern space.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a soft microfibre cloth and a non-abrasive silver polish formulated specifically for antiques, avoiding excessive rubbing on hallmarks, and stored in a low-humidity environment to minimise tarnishing.
