FAQs

George II silver, produced between 1727 and 1760, is noted for its transition from earlier plain Queen Anne forms to elaborate Rococo ornamentation. Pieces often featured intricate repousse chasing, rocaille scrollwork, floral motifs, and cast details such as scrolled handles and ornate spouts.

Eighteenth-century silver tankards were crafted from sterling silver using traditional hand-hammering and casting techniques. Decorative relief work was created using chasing and repousse methods, while handles and spouts were cast separately and soldered to the body.

Maintain silver by dusting regularly with a soft microfiber cloth and applying a specialist non-abrasive silver polish sparingly to prevent silver loss over time. Avoid harsh chemicals or automatic dishwasher cleaning, and store pieces in low-humidity environments wrapped in acid-free tissue or anti-tarnish cloth.

A George II silver tankard serves as a focal point when displayed on a sideboard top, mantelpiece, or within a glass display cabinet. It can be paired with natural wood finishes or dark stone surfaces to create a refined contrast between polished metalwork and textural backgrounds.

Authentic pieces carry British hallmark impressions, typically stamped on the body or base, including the leopards head for London, the lion passant for sterling quality, a date letter, and the makers mark. The weight, hand-finished construction details, and age-appropriate wear around handles and hinges also distinguish period examples.
