How do I clean antique silver?

Use a soft cloth and a specialised non-abrasive silver polish to gently remove tarnish from the raised surfaces. Avoid aggressive scrubbing that might wear down fine chased details or damage enamel and inset stones. Store pieces in dry environments away from direct sunlight and humidity. Acid-free tissue paper helps prevent rapid re-tarnishing when items remain in storage for extended periods.

Were these items used daily?

Many objects served functional roles on Edwardian dressing tables, writing desks, and dining rooms. Card cases, purse frames, salt cellars, and preserve spoons saw active service during formal social occasions. Other pieces, such as photo frames and decorative brooches, were primarily ornamental or personal adornments. Their survival in good condition depends on how carefully previous owners handled them.

How do I date art nouveau silver?

Assay office marks and date letters stamped into the silver provide the most reliable chronological markers. British pieces feature specific shield shapes and letters corresponding to the year of manufacture. Stylistic shifts also help narrow the period, moving from early organic whiplash lines around nineteen hundred towards more geometric Edwardian and later modernist transitions.

Can I wear art nouveau brooches?

Sturdy brooches and pendants function well for occasional wear provided the pin mechanisms and safety catches remain secure. Examine the hinge and pin assembly to ensure structural integrity before attaching them to heavy garments. Delicate enamel or gem-set pieces require cautious handling to prevent accidental impact against hard surfaces. Storing them in dedicated boxes protects the fragile metalwork when not being worn.
