An antique Victorian sterling silver parcel gilt goblet, dating from 1871 during the 1870s period. It is made from sterling silver with gold gilt, showing a silver and gold colour palette throughout. The piece displays a circular bell-shaped form upon a knopped pedestal and a circular spreading foot, featuring an engraved Greek key border on the bowl and the base, an interior finished in gold gilt, and a tiered knop at the centre of the stem. The goblet measures 20.1 cm high and 10.2 cm wide. It suits placement on a dining room sideboard top or display cabinet as part of a wine and drinks related silverware collection.

FAQs

A Victorian parcel gilt goblet is a 19th-century sterling silver drinking vessel where specific areas, such as the rim, decorative borders, or interior bowl, are selectively coated with a thin layer of gold leaf or gilt finish.

These goblets were primarily wrought from solid sterling silver (925 purity) and frequently enhanced using mercury gilding or electro-gilding techniques to apply gold accents to selected decorative features.

Authentic British silver goblets carry a full set of official assay office hallmarks, including the sterling lion passant, a makers mark, a town mark, a date letter, and the duty mark of Queen Victoria.

An antique silver goblet can be displayed as a decorative accent on a dining room sideboard, within a glazed bookcase, or positioned on a bar cart to introduce metallic texture to modern decor.

Gently clean the surface using a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth and specialized silver polish, avoiding harsh scrubbing on gilt areas to prevent wear to the thin gold layer.
