How to Identify Your Antique Silver Flatware

Before the invention of stainless steel, sterling silver and silver plated items were found in every home. Silver plated picture frames and other decorative items are still popular gifts.

Silverware is sometimes bought in sets, or combined to form sets, such as a set of silver candlesticks or a silver tea set. Each item of silverware has a unique hallmark, apart from the percentage of silver stamp. A hallmark can be used to refer to any distinguishing characteristic or trait of the piece.

There are several steps involved in identifying antique silverware and flatware:

  1. Examine your silver for hallmarks. If the piece is marked “sterling” or “925” it is sterling silver. You will also note a symbol that represents the manufacturer of the piece.
  2. Use a silver hallmark guide, such as the online encyclopaedia http://www.925-1000.com/ which shows the hallmarks that identify the manufacturer of the piece.
  3. Examine all the patterns made by this manufacturer and match one to your piece. If the piece is more than 50 years old, it qualifies as an antique piece.

Sell Your Silver Flatware FAQs:

Where can I sell sterling silver flatware?2026-02-25T14:43:13+02:00

You can bring your sterling silver flatware to our secure branches in Cape Town, Sandton or Umhlanga for a professional in-person evaluation. We assess both full sets and individual pieces.

How do I know if my flatware is real sterling silver?2026-02-25T14:42:44+02:00

Sterling silver flatware is usually stamped “925,” “Sterling,” or carries identifiable maker’s hallmarks. Silver-plated flatware contains only a thin layer of silver and is valued differently. We can examine your items and confirm their composition during the assessment.

Is silver-plated flatware worth anything?2026-02-25T14:42:17+02:00

Silver-plated flatware generally has limited resale value compared to solid sterling silver because it does not contain significant silver content. However, we can evaluate your items and advise accordingly.

Does a complete set increase the value?2026-02-25T14:41:53+02:00

Complete matching sets can sometimes be more attractive in the resale market. However, sterling silver flatware is primarily valued based on its silver content and weight.

How is the value of sterling silver flatware calculated?2026-02-25T14:41:28+02:00

The value is determined by the total weight of the sterling silver and current silver market conditions. Certain recognised manufacturers or antique patterns may influence demand.

Can I sell inherited silver cutlery?2026-02-25T14:41:02+02:00

Yes. Many clients sell sterling silver flatware received through estates or family inheritance. Each piece is assessed individually, and the valuation process is clearly explained before you decide to proceed.
