FAQs

Neoclassical Georgian silver draws heavy inspiration from classical Greek and Roman art, featuring symmetrical forms, architectural motifs such as fluting and gadrooning, and formal restraint.

These items are typically crafted from sterling silver, often featuring a gilt interior (known as parcel-gilt) to protect the metal from the corrosive nature of salt, and manufactured using casting and chasing techniques.

Authenticity is verified by examining hallmark stamps, which include the makers mark, standard mark (such as the lion passant for sterling), assay office mark, and date letter corresponding to the active period of the silversmith.

These small decorative pieces can be displayed on a sideboard, within a glass-fronted cabinet, or utilized as contemporary catch-alls for small items like cufflinks on a dressing table.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a non-abrasive silver cloth and mild soapy water, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip the original patina and damage parcel-gilt finishes.
