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

A Victorian silver christening set traditionally comprises a silver spoon, often accompanied by a matching fork or napkin ring, presented in a fitted box as a formal ceremonial gift for a baptism.

These sets were constructed from solid sterling silver or high-grade silver plate, housed within leatherette or wooden cases lined with silk and fitted velvet.

Authentic British pieces feature official hallmarks stamped on the reverse of the handles, including a purity mark, assay office mark, makers mark, and date letter corresponding to the Victorian era.

These decorative silver items can be displayed open on a sideboard or placed within a glass vitrine alongside other historic metalwork to add depth and narrative to a room.

Gently clean the silver with a soft cloth and specialised silver polish, ensuring the pieces are completely dry before storing them in their original velvet-lined presentation case to prevent tarnishing.
