FAQs

A George II silver gravy boat typically dates from 1727 to 1760, characterised by Rococo influences such as double-scroll handles, flared spouts, and three cast feet.

They were hand-hammered and raised from sterling silver, with individually cast legs and handles soldered onto the main body before hand-engraving decorative crests.

Authentic pieces carry British hallmarks struck on the underside, including the makers mark, the lion passant for sterling purity, the town mark, and the annual date letter.

It can be displayed on a dining room sideboard, used as a refined table centrepiece, or repurposed to hold small botanical arrangements in traditional and eclectic interiors.

Clean regularly using a dedicated silver polishing cloth and mild silver foam to remove tarnish, avoiding dishwasher exposure or abrasive chemical treatments.
