FAQs

Georgian wick trays, often associated with candle snuffer sets, were utilised in high-society households during the 18th and early 19th centuries to hold spent candle wicks and snuffers, protecting fine table linens from soot and wax.

Authentic pieces from this period were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, manufactured using traditional hand-raising and silversmithing techniques, frequently featuring hallmarks indicating the maker, assay office, and year of production.

Authenticity is verified by examining crisp hallmarks, maker marks such as those of prominent silversmiths like John Emes, appropriate weight, and natural ageing characteristics such as surface wear and gentle oxidisation.

This piece can be displayed on a mantelpiece, coffee table, or sideboard as a refined decorative accent object, reflecting light and adding a touch of historic metallics to contemporary or traditional schemes.

Preserve antique silver by storing it in a dry environment, avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners, and gently polishing only when necessary with a specialised microfibre cloth and high-quality silver cleaner to protect the historic patina.
