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

Lobster picks are specialised dining implements designed with narrow prongs and scoops to extract meat from shellfish shells. They gained widespread popularity during the late Victorian and early 20th-century eras alongside formal multi-course seafood dining traditions.

Most early 20th-century lobster picks are crafted from base metals such as nickel silver or brass, electroplated with a layer of pure silver. Solid sterling silver examples also exist, but silver-plated items offered a durable and accessible option for domestic and hotel dining.

Authentic period pieces often feature makers marks or electroplate stamps such as EPNS (Electroplated Nickel Silver) stamped along the stem or handle. Design details like relief-moulded seafood motifs and balanced weight distribution are characteristic of early manufacturing.

These functional implements can be integrated into contemporary seafood dinners or raw bar presentations. Pairing vintage flatware with modern crisp linen and neutral tableware adds textural contrast and historical character to modern dining spaces.

Clean silver-plated items by hand using warm water and mild liquid detergent, avoiding abrasive pads. Occasional gentle polishing with a dedicated silver foam or cloth removes tarnish without wearing away the silver plating layer.
