FAQs

An 18th-century Irish silver loving cup is a two-handled vessel produced in Ireland during the Georgian era, typically used for ceremonial toasts or as presentation pieces. These cups feature characteristic double-scroll handles, moulded footrings, and heraldic engravings.

These cups were raised from solid sterling silver by silversmiths using hand-hammering techniques before adding cast scroll handles and turned pedestal bases. The finishing process frequently involved hand-chasing, engraving of family crests, and hallmarking by regional assay offices.

Authentic Irish silver pieces from this period feature specific Dublin assay office hallmarks, including the crowned harp, the Hibernia mark introduced in 1730, and individual makers marks. Examining the weight, seam construction, and style of engraving also helps confirm age.

A pair of antique silver cups can be displayed on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or open bookcase to introduce reflective texture and historic detail. They function well as standalone decorative accents or styled alongside leather-bound books and glassware.

Silver cups should be polished occasionally using a specialised, non-abrasive silver cream applied with a soft cotton cloth to remove tarnish. Avoid chemical cleaners or dishwashers, and store pieces in low-humidity environments inside anti-tarnish bags when not on display.
