Description

This is a beautiful antique Victorian hallmarked solid sterling silver coffee pot measuring 11" (28 cms) tall x 8 1/4" (21 cms) across from handle to spout with a 2 1/2 pint capacity.

The condition is excellent with no damage – any marks you can see are just reflections and there are no inscriptions or monograms.

It’s hallmarked for London 1858 with the silversmiths mark for Edward & John Barnard.

It has an armorial crest on one side with the Latin motto 'Tutum Refugium' which means 'A Safe Refuge' and I believe this is the Gillon family motto.

It weighs 823.4 grams / 26.4 troy oz which gives you an idea of the quality and inside is clean and perfectly usable.

This coffee pot will come with a certificate of authenticity.

FAQs

Victorian silver is characterised by eclectic revivalism, heavy ornamentation, and detailed hand-engraving, drawing inspiration from Rococo, Gothic, and Renaissance motifs.

These pieces were typically forged from sterling silver, adhering to the strict 925 fineness standard, often featuring heat-insulating spacers made of wood, ivory, or bone on the handles.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarks stamped on the metal, which include the makers mark, standard mark indicating sterling silver, city assay office mark, and a date letter corresponding to the year of manufacture.

Displaying the piece as a focal point on a sideboard or within a glass-fronted cabinet introduces a layer of historical contrast and polished metallic texture to modern spaces.

Care involves gentle dusting with a soft microfibre cloth and occasional polishing with a specialised non-abrasive silver cream, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can strip away desirable patination.
