The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A silver salver is a flat tray traditionally made from sterling silver, historically used to serve beverages or present calling cards in traditional households.

Georgian salvers were crafted from hallmarked sterling silver, using techniques such as hand-hammering, casting for the feet, and surface hand-engraving.

Authentic pieces feature official hallmarks including the makers mark, town mark such as the Edinburgh castle, standard thistle mark, and date letter.

Place the salvers on a sideboard top, use them as a display tray for glassware, or incorporate them into a dining table arrangement.

Clean gently using a soft cloth and specialised silver polish to remove oxidisation, avoiding abrasive scrubbers or dishwasher cleaning.
