FAQs

Georgian Irish silver refers to sterling silver objects produced in Ireland between 1714 and 1830. Pieces from this era often feature distinctive Dublin hallmarks and hand-engraved motifs such as bright-cutting, reflecting the high standard of regional Irish silversmithing during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

These spoons were hand-forged from sterling silver, comprising 92.5 percent pure silver alloyed with copper for structural durability. Decorative elements were achieved through bright-cut engraving, a technique where faceted cuts were carved into the metal surface to reflect light.

Authentic pieces carry a set of stamped hallmarks including the crowned harp purity mark, the Hibernia duty mark, a specific makers mark, and a date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture in the Dublin assay office.

Antique silver spoons can be displayed on a dining sideboard inside a velvet-lined cutlery drawer, incorporated into formal table settings, or presented inside a glazed cabinet alongside period glassware.

Clean silver gently using a soft cotton cloth and specialized silver polish to remove tarnish without stripping the natural patina. Store items in acid-free anti-tarnish cloth bags away from high humidity and direct sunlight.
