FAQs

Georgian silver encompasses pieces made during the reigns of Kings George I to IV (1714-1830), characterised by classical proportions, intricate hand-engraving, and robust craftsmanship influenced by Rococo and Neoclassical design movements.

These items were typically forged from sterling silver using traditional smithing techniques such as raising, casting, and hand-chasing, often featuring pierced work, applied borders, and articulated swing handles.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarks stamped on the metal, which typically include the makers mark, standard mark (such as the sterling lion passant), assay office mark, and date letter.

Such pieces can be used as a striking centrepiece on a dining table, displayed on a sideboard, or utilised to hold decorative items on a mantelpiece, contrasting antique metalwork with contemporary surroundings.

Preservation requires storing items in tarnish-resistant cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips in favour of gentle, periodic polishing with a specialist silver cloth, and keeping them away from direct sunlight and high humidity.
