How do I identify the date of my silver?

Look for the series of small stamped impressions known as hallmarks, which typically include a date letter corresponding to the assay office records of the year. Additional marks will show the lion passant for sterling standard and the maker's initials, confirming the exact period of production.

Were canteens of cutlery used daily?

Many canteens containing thirty persons' worth of flatware were commissioned for grand households and formal dining occasions rather than everyday meals. Over the generations, families preserved these sets in fitted mahogany cabinets lined with velvet or satin to protect the metal from tarnish.

What is a basting spoon used for?

Basting spoons are exceptionally large serving utensils designed to ladle juices, gravies or melted fat over roasting meats in the kitchen or at the dining table. Their substantial weight and length made them practical tools during the Georgian era when large joints of meat were prepared.

Can I use antique silver for dining?

Solid silver flatware is entirely functional and sturdy enough for regular use, provided it is washed by hand in warm soapy water without harsh abrasives. Avoid placing antique cutlery in modern dishwashers, as the strong detergents and intense heat can damage the silver and any delicate gilding.
