FAQs

The George III period spanned from 1760 to 1820, characterised by a transition from ornate rococo designs to refined neoclassical symmetry, heavily regulated by strict London assay office standards.

These pieces were typically crafted from sterling silver using hand-raising, casting for handles and thumb-pieces, and soldering, followed by rigorous hand-polishing and hallmark stamping.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarks stamped directly onto the metal, which include the makers mark, lion passant for sterling standard, leopards head for the London assay office, and a date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

Antique silver pieces add a layer of historical contrast and reflective metallic texture when displayed on dark wooden sideboards, open shelving, or styled within a contemporary dining room cabinet.

Preservation requires minimal cleaning using non-abrasive silver cloths or specialised polishes only when necessary, avoiding harsh dips that can strip away the natural patina accumulated over centuries.
