FAQs

The fiddle pattern originated in France during the mid-18th century and became the predominant style for British silver flatware throughout the 19th century. Its name derives from the handle shape, which resembles the outline of a violin or fiddle.

Victorian basting spoons were predominantly forged from sterling silver, which consists of 92.5% pure silver alloyed with 7.5% copper for structural strength. Higher-end examples were hand-hammered and finished by British silversmiths.

Authentic British pieces bear a full set of hallmark stamps, typically including the lion passant for sterling silver, an assay office mark, a date letter, a makers mark, and a monarchs head duty mark for items produced between 1784 and 1890.

Antique silver spoons can be displayed on dining sideboards, arranged in vintage glass jars, or integrated directly into contemporary table settings to provide historical contrast against modern linen and tableware.

Wash silver in warm soapy water using a non-abrasive cloth, drying immediately to prevent water spots. Periodically apply a specialist silver polish to remove natural oxidisation and store in anti-tarnish cloth bags when not in use.
