FAQs

Georgian silver skewers were utilised during the 18th and early 19th centuries to secure joints of meat and poultry during roasting and carving, often featuring a ring terminal for hanging or handling.

These items were traditionally forged from sterling silver, often featuring hallmarks indicating the maker, assay office, and year of production, hand-hammered to achieve a tapered blade.

Authenticity is determined by examining legible sterling silver hallmarks, weight, wear patterns consistent with age, and traditional manufacturing techniques such as hand-forging.

Antique silver skewers can be displayed within a collection inside a glass-fronted cabinet or mounted in a shadow box as historical dining curiosities.

Preserve silver items by storing them in tarnish-resistant cloth, cleaning only with non-abrasive silver polish when necessary, and avoiding harsh chemicals or dishwashers.
