FAQs

Art Deco silver design is characterised by geometric facets, streamlined forms, stepped bases, and a departure from Victorian ornamentation in favour of modern industrial minimalism.

These sets are typically crafted from solid sterling silver using techniques such as spinning, hammering, or casting, often paired with insulated wooden handles and finials made from materials like wood or early plastics.

Authentic pieces feature clear hallmarks stamped into the metal, including a makers mark, the lion passant for sterling silver, a town mark such as the Birmingham anchor, and a date letter indicating the specific year of assay.

Display the set on a dark wood sideboard or a mirrored serving tray to highlight the reflective metallic surface, contrasting the historical craftsmanship with clean, modern surroundings.

Clean the silver periodically using a non-abrasive specialist silver polish and a soft cloth to remove tarnish, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip the original patina and damage insulated components.
