An Edwardian sterling silver two-tiered centrepiece from James Dixon & Sons, dated 1907. The silver metal finish gleams in the light, reflecting a polished surface across the tiered pedestal stem, shaped hexagonal base, and scalloped foot. Pierced filigree borders adorn the lobed hexagonal rims of both dishes, while detailed openwork and vertical slots decorate the base and the upper basket section. Hallmarks appear on the second tier. The item stands 30.5 cm high and 20.3 cm wide. Placement suits a dining table center or sideboard surface, where the double tiers hold fruit, sweets, or small decorative items. Disassembly allows practical storage or transport when not in use.

FAQs

Edwardian sterling silver tableware from 1901 to 1910 is known for delicate proportions, reticulated or pierced lattice work, Neo-Classical Revival influences, and refined chased ornamentation.

These items were wrought from hallmarked sterling silver (.925 purity), often utilizing hand-piercing techniques, cast pedestal bases, and fitted central columns to secure multiple bowls or tiers.

Authentic British pieces feature four or five struck marks: the makers initials, the lion passant for sterling silver, the assay office mark (such as a crown for Sheffield), and the date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

A silver centrepiece can be positioned on a dark polished timber dining table or sideboard, filled with fresh fruit, dry botanicals, or displayed unadorned as a metallic focal point.

Silver should be cleaned gently using a specialized silver polishing cloth or a mild silver foam wash, avoiding abrasive chemicals, and stored in a dry, tarnish-inhibiting cloth wrapper.
