FAQs

The George III period spans from 1760 to 1820, characterised by classical proportions, refined ornamentation, and the transition from ornate Rococo to more restrained Neoclassical designs.

These pieces were typically forged from sterling silver, adhering to British hallmarking standards which guaranteed the fineness and purity of the metal.

Authentic items feature a combination of punch marks including a makers mark, a standard mark such as the lion passant for sterling silver, a city assay office mark, and a date letter indicating the exact year of assay.

Antique silver pieces can be seamlessly integrated by contrasting them with contemporary minimalist dinnerware, adding historical texture and elegance to the table setting.

Antique silver should be hand-washed with mild soap, dried immediately with a soft cloth, and stored in tarnish-resistant flannel to prevent oxidation and scratching.
