FAQs

The Edwardian era, spanning from 1901 to 1910, is characterised by a refined elegance that often combined utilitarian function with luxurious materials like sterling silver and exotic leathers.

These items were typically constructed from a brass or copper body encased in sterling silver, often wrapped in stitched leather such as pigskin or crocodile, featuring a captive or bayonet cap to prevent leaks.

Authentic pieces bear official British hallmarks stamped into the metal, which typically include a makers mark, the lion passant for sterling silver, a leopards head for London assay (or equivalent city mark), and a date letter.

Such pieces can be displayed on a bar cart, within a study bookcase, or atop a cabinet of curiosities as a sophisticated nod to historical craftsmanship.

Silver should be cleaned periodically with a non-abrasive polish to maintain its lustre, while the leather casing benefits from occasional treatment with a neutral leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking.
