FAQs

Coral and silver rattles date back centuries, traditionally used not only as toys and teethers but also as protective amulets against evil spirits due to the perceived magical properties of coral.

Victorian rattles typically combined sterling silver with natural coral handles, often featuring internal bells and hollow constructions designed to produce a gentle sound when shaken.

Authentic pieces feature clear British hallmarks stamped on the silver components, indicating the makers mark, assay office, and date letter corresponding to the era of manufacture.

This type of heritage artefact is typically displayed under a glass dome on a bookshelf or within a cabinet of curiosities to highlight its intricate craftsmanship.

Antique silver should be gently cleaned using a specialist microfibre cloth and mild silver polish only when necessary, avoiding abrasive materials that can damage the delicate embossed details and hallmarks.
