These dinner forks are very clearly hallmarked for York 1836, just at the end of the reign of William IV. The maker's marks are for James Barber & William North.

FAQs

Antique silver flatware encompasses tableware crafted from sterling silver during past eras, notably the Georgian and Victorian periods, often featuring regional hallmarks indicating the assay office.

These pieces are typically fabricated from solid sterling silver, conforming to the traditional 925 standard, and shaped using techniques such as hand-forging, casting, and die-stamping.

Authenticity is verified through the examination of stamped hallmarks, which typically include a makers mark, a standard mark indicating sterling purity, a date letter, and an assay office symbol.

Antique silverware can be displayed in glass-fronted cabinets, used within traditional table settings, or mixed with modern tableware to create a layered aesthetic.

Preservation requires regular, gentle cleaning with specialised silver polish to remove tarnish, storing the items in anti-tarnish cloths, and avoiding abrasive materials that could wear down the hallmarks.
