We buy · Sterling silverware · By appointment only
We buy sterling silverware, sorted from plate and valued properly.
Family silver is often a mix of solid sterling, weighted pieces and silver plate. At your appointment we read the hallmarks with you, set aside what is plated, account for weighted handles correctly, and value the sterling against the day's silver market.

Good to know
Questions about selling sterling silverware
How do I know if my silverware is sterling?
Look for marks like "Sterling" or "925". If you're unsure, bring it to your appointment. Telling sterling from plate takes moments.
Do you buy silver plate?
Silver plate has very little metal value, so we usually can't make an offer on it. We'll sort it out for you so you know exactly what you have.
Should I polish it first?
No need. Tarnish doesn't change the value of sterling.
