STERLING SILVERWARE & FLATWARE
What we look for in sterling silver
We have a particular focus on silverware and flatware. This includes antique tea sets, ornate serving utensils, and complete flatware sets from renowned makers like Gorham or Tiffany. The beauty of sterling silver lies in its timeless elegance and craftsmanship, often showcasing intricate designs and patterns. I also have an interest in sterling silver jewelry, though I tend to separate these from my fine and costume jewelry due to the specific nature of silver’s appeal—its purity, weight, and the unique way it ages and develops patina over time.
When buying sterling silver, I look for quality hallmarks that confirm authenticity and the item's condition, paying close attention to any wear or damage. For silverware and flatware, I’m keen on finding full or near-complete sets, pieces with historical significance, or items that have distinctive craftsmanship. With jewelry, I focus on finding unique, well-crafted designs that can stand out due to the metal’s sheen and detailing. The goal is always to discover items that are not only beautiful but also hold their value as cherished heirlooms.
