FAQs

Scottish provincial silver refers to items crafted by silversmiths working outside the main assay offices of Edinburgh and Glasgow, typically in towns such as Banff, Aberdeen, and Inverness. Because these makers worked in smaller quantities and often used unique local hallmarks, their pieces are scarce and highly sought after by collectors.

These items were traditionally fashioned from sterling silver or coin silver alloys using handcrafted techniques such as hammering, shaping, and hand-engraving. Silversmiths often utilised local punches and maker marks rather than standard assay office hallmarks.

Authentic pieces are identified by examining the maker marks, town marks, and any accompanying pseudo-hallmarks struck into the metal. Comparing these punches against established numismatic and silversmithing reference guides helps verify the geographic origin and period.

Antique silver flatware can be displayed in glass-fronted cabinets, mounted in shallow shadow boxes, or arranged on a silver tray within a dining room or study to add historical texture. Their polished surfaces reflect light and contrast well with modern minimalist aesthetics.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a high-quality, non-abrasive silver polish and a soft microfibre cloth to remove tarnish without wearing down delicate hand-engraving or maker marks. Storing items in anti-tarnish cloth bags in a controlled environment helps prevent future oxidation.
