The George V period spans from 1910 to 1936, characterised by a revival of traditional Georgian styles alongside early Art Deco influences, often marked by high manufacturing standards and distinct assay office hallmarks.

These pieces are typically fashioned from solid sterling silver, stamped with a standard 925 fineness, and shaped using traditional silversmithing techniques such as spinning, soldering, and hand-engraving.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarks stamped directly onto the metal, including the makers mark, the lion passant for sterling silver, the town assay mark, and a date letter corresponding to the specific year of production.

An antique silver piece adds metallic contrast and historical interest when placed on a bookshelf, desk, or mantelpiece, complementing both minimalist modern spaces and traditional interiors.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a soft microfibre cloth and a specialist non-abrasive silver polish, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip away the natural patina and hallmarks.
