FAQs

The George II period, spanning from 1727 to 1760, is characterised by robust classical proportions, early rococo influences, and heavy gauge silver objects reflecting understated elegance and functional design.

These items were typically handcrafted from sterling silver using techniques such as raising from a flat disc, casting for feet and rims, and often featured a gold wash interior known as gilding or vermeil to protect the metal from corrosive salts.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarks stamped on the base, including the makers mark, lion passant for sterling standard, leopards head for London assay, and date letters corresponding to the specific year of manufacture.

These small decorative objects can be displayed on a polished mahogany dining table centre, within a glass-fronted cabinet, or utilised on a sideboard top to reflect light and add historic character to modern dining spaces.

Preservation requires regular gentle dusting with a soft microfibre cloth, minimal use of non-abrasive silver polish only when necessary to avoid wearing down hallmarks, and maintaining a stable environment away from high humidity.
