FAQs

The Georgian era spans the reigns of the four King Georges from 1714 to 1830, characterised by classical proportions, refined craftsmanship, and an evolution from ornate rococo designs to cleaner neoclassical lines.

These items are typically crafted from sterling silver, often featuring gilt interiors known as parcel-gilding to protect the metal from corrosive salts, and were produced using traditional techniques such as raising, casting, and hand-engraving.

Authenticity is verified by examining hallmarks struck into the metal, which typically include the makers mark, standard mark, town mark indicating the assay office, and a date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

Antique silver pieces add a layer of historical contrast and reflective metallic texture when displayed on dining tables, sideboards, or open shelving within contemporary spaces.

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