FAQs

An Edwardian novelty sterling silver desk seal is a functional desk accessory crafted during the early 20th century, often featuring figurative forms such as jesters, animals, or characters to combine practical correspondence utility with whimsical decoration.

These desk items were typically cast or repousse-formed using sterling silver, containing 92.5 percent pure silver alloyed with copper for structural integrity, often incorporating detailed hand-chasing and engraved matrix bases.

Authentic British Edwardian sterling silver features a set of official hallmarks: the lion passant indicating purity, an assay office town mark, a specific date letter code, and a registered silversmiths makers mark.

An antique silver seal serves as a refined accent piece when positioned on an office desk, displayed atop a stack of leather journals, or arranged within a glass display cabinet alongside traditional stationery.

Preserve sterling silver by wiping gently with a soft microfibre cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding harsh chemical dip solutions that can strip original chasing detail or natural dark oxidisation.
