How to Identify Your Antique Silverware

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.

Where can I sell silverware?2026-02-25T14:32:24+02:00

You can bring your silverware to our secure branches in Cape Town, Sandton or Umhlanga for a professional in-person assessment. We evaluate sterling silver items and provide clear guidance on value.

What types of silverware do you buy?2026-02-25T14:39:46+02:00

We purchase sterling silver household items such as tea sets, trays, bowls, candlesticks, jugs and other decorative silver pieces. Each item is evaluated based on silver content and condition.

How do I know if my silverware is sterling silver?2026-02-25T14:39:21+02:00

Sterling silver items are typically stamped “925,” “Sterling,” or include recognised hallmarks. Silver-plated items contain only a thin layer of silver and are valued differently. We can examine your items and confirm their composition.

Is antique silverware worth more?2026-02-25T14:38:29+02:00

Some antique or vintage silver pieces may carry additional interest depending on age, maker and condition. However, most silverware is primarily valued based on silver content and weight.

Can I sell inherited silverware?2026-02-25T14:37:49+02:00

Yes. Many clients bring in silverware received through estates or family inheritance. We assess each item individually and clearly explain how the value is determined before you decide to proceed.

Do I need original boxes or proof of purchase?2026-02-25T14:38:46+02:00

Original packaging is not required. We assess the silver content and condition of the item directly during the evaluation process.
