FAQs

Silver tea and coffee services became central to middle and upper-class domestic life during the 18th and 19th centuries as the consumption of imported tea and coffee gained popularity.

These sets are typically crafted from sterling silver or silver plate over a base metal, often featuring cast elements, wooden insulating handles, and gilded interiors for the sugar and cream vessels.

Authenticity is generally determined by examining hallmarks stamped onto the metal, which indicate the maker, standard of silver, assay office, and year of manufacture.

Displaying a polished silver service on a sideboard or serving cart introduces reflective metallic accents and a sense of historical craftsmanship to contemporary living spaces.

Silver should be cleaned periodically using non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth to remove tarnish, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage soldered joints and surface details.
