FAQs

Georgian silver ladles, produced between 1714 and 1830, are defined by classical proportions, smooth polished surfaces, and hand-forged construction. They were made to accompany formal dining services for soups, sauces, or punch bowls.

These ladles were primarily constructed from sterling silver, containing 92.5% pure silver alloyed with copper for structural durability. The bowls were formed by hand-hammering silver sheet, joined to hand-forged handles.

Authentic British Georgian silver carries official assay office hallmarks, including the lion passant for sterling quality, a makers mark, a town mark, a date letter, and a sovereign duty mark for pieces made between 1784 and 1890.

Antique silver ladles are often displayed on dining room sideboards, arranged inside vintage glass jars or silver urns, or mounted in shadowed display frames as decorative historic metalwork.

Clean sterling silver using specialized silver polish and a soft cotton cloth to remove oxidisation. Avoid abrasive scrubbers and wash by hand in warm water with mild detergent before thoroughly drying.
