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

During the Georgian era, silver skewers were utilised in dining settings to secure joints of meat during roasting and during presentation at the dining table.

These utensils were typically hand-forged from sterling silver, featuring a long tapered blade and a cast terminal, such as a simple ring or shell motif, stamped with official assay hallmarks.

Authentic pieces display a complete set of British hallmarks, including the makers mark, lion passant for sterling silver purity, town mark, date letter, and duty mark.

These historical silver pieces are frequently repurposed in contemporary settings as elegant desk accessories, functioning stylishly as decorative letter openers or paperweights.

Regular gentle polishing with a soft lint-free cloth and a specialized silver polish maintains lustre while protecting the natural dark oxidation around hallmarks and carved details.
