FAQs

Exeter silver refers to items hallmarked at the Exeter Assay Office in Devon, England, which produced distinct provincial British silver flatware and hollowware until its closure in 1883.

Antique British silver spoons were primarily crafted from sterling silver, an alloy containing 92.5 percent pure silver and 7.5 percent copper for structural strength.

Authentic Exeter silver features distinct hallmarks stamped on the stem, including a town mark depicting a castle, alongside a maker mark, date letter, lion passant, and monarch duty mark.

Antique silver serving spoons can be layered alongside modern neutral tableware on a dining table or displayed inside a glass cabinet to add historical context.

Clean antique silver using a specialized silver polish applied gently with a soft cotton cloth, avoiding abrasive sponges, and store in tarnish-resistant cloth covers.
