FAQs

Victorian silver spans the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901, characterised by a revival of historicist styles, intricate craftsmanship, and industrial advancements in manufacturing processes.

These items were typically crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as hand-raising, casting, chasing, and repousse, often featuring a gilt interior known as vermeil.

Authenticity is verified through British hallmarks stamped on the metal, which indicate the assay office, date letter, makers mark, and the standard of silver, such as the lion passant for sterling.

An antique silver piece can be integrated as a polished accent on a sideboard, used as a vase for small botanical arrangements, or displayed within a glass-fronted cabinet to add metallic texture.

Preservation involves regular dusting with a soft cloth, occasional cleaning with a specialist non-abrasive silver polish to remove tarnish, and storing in a dry environment away from direct sunlight.
