FAQs

Victorian silver spans the reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901, characterised by eclectic revivals of historic motifs, heavy ornamentation, and technical advancements in manufacturing such as machine stamping and detailed hand-chasing.

These pieces were typically crafted from sterling silver, containing 92.5 percent pure silver by mass, often shaped through raising from a flat sheet, spinning, or casting, followed by hand-engraving and soldering of handles.

Authentic pieces are identified through hallmarks stamped into the metal, which typically include a makers mark, a standard mark for sterling silver such as a lion passant, a town mark, and a date letter corresponding to the assay office records.

Silver vessels can be integrated into modern spaces by placing them on open shelving, mantelpieces, or side tables as standalone decorative objects or as functional vessels for small stems of flowers.

Antique silver should be cleaned infrequently using a dedicated non-abrasive silver polish and a soft microfibre cloth to remove tarnish without wearing away the underlying metal or historic hallmarks.
