FAQs

Art Deco silver is characterised by geometric precision, stylised motifs, clean lines, and a synthesis of traditional craftsmanship with modern industrial aesthetics, prevalent from the 1920s to the 1930s.

These items were typically fabricated from solid sterling silver using techniques such as spinning, casting, and hand-engraving, often featuring engine-turned patterns and velvet or silk linings.

Authenticity is verified by examining the official hallmarks stamped on the metal, which typically include the makers mark, the town assay office mark, the standard mark for sterling silver, and a date letter.

An antique silver box can be placed on a dressing table, mantelpiece, or console table to add a touch of metallic contrast and historic character to contemporary or transitional schemes.

Preservation involves storing silver in low-humidity environments away from direct sunlight and cleaning it infrequently using a soft microfibre cloth and a specialist non-abrasive silver polish to protect the patina.
