FAQs

Edwardian silver is characterised by lighter, more refined neoclassical revivals, often featuring delicate floral garlands, ribbons, and sophisticated motifs influenced by French 18th-century design.

These pieces combine genuine Hawksbill turtle shell with inlaid silver or gold pique work, mounted in hallmarked sterling silver frames and supported by cast feet.

Authenticity is verified by clear British hallmarks indicating the assay office, makers mark, and date letter, alongside natural variations and characteristic ageing in the tortoiseshell panel.

Place the piece on a dressing table, mantelpiece, or console to add a touch of historic craftsmanship and textural contrast to contemporary or traditional schemes.

Keep the item away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent the tortoiseshell from warping or drying out, and gently clean the silver with a soft microfibre cloth while avoiding abrasive silver dips.
