FAQs

Novelty epergnes gained popularity in the early 20th century, particularly during the 1920s and 1930s, as technological advancements in aviation captured the public imagination and influenced decorative arts.

These items were typically constructed from a base metal, such as nickel silver or brass, which was then coated with a layer of silver using electroplating techniques developed in the 19th century.

Authentication relies on examining makers marks and hallmarks stamped into the metal, assessing the weight and quality of the silver plating, and identifying period-specific manufacturing techniques and stylised design motifs.

Such pieces function effectively as focal points on dining tables, sideboards, or mantelpieces, contrasting modern minimalist aesthetics with historical character and metallic textures.

Silver plate should be cleaned gently using a non-abrasive silver polish and a soft microfiber cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals and excessive scrubbing to protect the thin plating layer from wear.
