← What we buy
We buy antique silver
Tea and coffee sets, cutlery, candlesticks, trophies and small silver, hallmarked or plated.
Silver is one of the easiest things to value from photos, because British silver carries hallmarks that tell us where and when it was made. A clear close-up of the marks is worth more than any description.
We buy single pieces and whole canteens. Please do not polish anything first: an old patina is part of the character.
