FAQs

Georgian silver tableware spans the reign of Kings George I through George IV, from 1714 to 1830. Utensils from this period are characterized by hand-hammered sterling silver construction, clean classical lines, refined proportions, and clear makers hallmarks stamped along the stem or bowl reverse.

Late 18th-century Scottish silversmiths adhered to the sterling silver standard, which consists of 92.5 percent pure silver alloyed with 7.5 percent copper for durability. Items were submitted to assay offices in Edinburgh or Glasgow to receive city marks, date letters, and maker marks.

Authentic George III British silver features a series of stamped marks including the lion passant for sterling quality, a sovereign duty mark depicting the profile of George III, a city assay symbol, a specific letter indicating the year of manufacture, and the initials of the silversmith.

Antique silver spoons can be displayed inside velvet-lined dining room drawers, positioned within glazed corner cabinets, or arranged atop a dining sideboard inside silver cutlery stands to highlight historic craftsmanship within contemporary dining settings.

Georgian silver should be washed gently in warm water with mild detergent and dried immediately with a soft cloth. Tarnish is removed using non-abrasive silver polish applied gently along the length of the metal, avoiding harsh chemical dips that strip natural patination.
