FAQs

Flagons and two-handled loving cups have a long tradition in European dining and ceremonial use, often utilised for serving wine, ale, or mead during communal toasts and formal banquets.

These sets are typically constructed from a base metal such as brass, copper, or Britannia metal, which is then coated in a layer of silver using electroplating techniques developed in the 19th century.

Authentic pieces often feature maker marks, manufacturer stamps, or hallmarks indicating silver plate quality (such as EPNS for electroplated nickel silver) along with natural tarnish patterns consistent with age.

Display the set grouped together on a sideboard, bar cart, or open shelving to introduce metallic reflection and a touch of historic elegance to contemporary or transitional spaces.

Clean silver plate gently using a specialised non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth to remove tarnish, and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers to protect the delicate plating.
