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 berry spoon is a dedicated serving piece designed with a wide, fluted, or scalloped bowl specifically meant for serving fresh berries, fruit, or fruit preserves at the dining table without crushing them.

Edwardian silver flatware was predominantly forged from solid sterling silver (925 fineness) using die-striking and hand-finishing techniques to achieve intricate scrollwork, embossed patterns, and pressed repousse detail on the bowl and handle.

Authentic pieces carry makers marks, typically featuring a winged W logo alongside the stamp STERLING. The weight, crispness of the pattern relief, and correct fineness hallmarks confirm original manufacture.

While fully functional for dinner parties and dessert service, an antique silver berry spoon can also be displayed flat in a velvet-lined cutlery drawer display or placed on a dining room sideboard alongside crystal decanters and silver trays.

Wash silver by hand in warm water with mild dish soap and dry immediately with a soft cloth. Use a non-abrasive silver polish sparingly with a microfiber cloth to remove oxidisation while keeping intentional detail contrast intact.
