FAQs

Art Deco design typically features sleek geometric lines, stylised motifs, and a combination of traditional and modern materials, reflecting the glamour and industrial progress of the 1920s and 1930s.

These services commonly combine silver or silver-plated blades and tines with handles carved from natural mother-of-pearl, bone, or ivory, housed within velvet-lined wooden boxes.

Authenticity is verified by examining the hallmarks on the silver components, the iridescence and natural grain irregularities of the pearl handles, and the quality of the fitted wooden presentation case.

Displaying a cased set open on a sideboard or within a glass-fronted cabinet introduces a layer of historical texture and refined craftsmanship to contemporary dining spaces.

Mother-of-pearl requires gentle hand washing with mild soap and immediate drying, avoiding abrasive silver dips that can damage the delicate organic handles.
