FAQs

Modernist Italian silver from the mid-20th century is characterised by clean geometric lines, minimal ornamentation, and a focus on abstract textures rather than traditional floral motifs.

The 800 hallmark indicates that the metal alloy consists of 80 percent pure silver and 20 percent other metals, predominantly copper, which was a standard legal standard for continental European silver items.

Authentic pieces typically feature makers marks, silversmith stamps, and numeric purity hallmarks such as 800 or 925 stamped discreetly on the interior rim or base.

A reflective metallic object adds texture and contrast when placed on organic materials like timber surfaces, leather desks, or stone consoles to catch ambient light.

Silver items should be cleaned periodically using a non-abrasive silver cloth and stored in low-humidity environments to prevent excessive tarnish build-up without stripping the original patina.
