Silver and gold prices continue to escalate very rapidly. From the early ages, silver and spoons in particular, were the symbols of accomplishing a certain standard of living or accomplishment. They were one of the first investments a person made or received, and had valuable antibacterial and antifungal properties. Births, Christenings, weddings and deaths were marked by gifts of spoons and other pieces and continue to this day. There are many spoons and other significant silver pieces available in both our online and offline inventories. See our fine selection of solid silver items including canteens, serving pieces, cutlery, an Asprey dinner bell, Elkington candlesticks, novelty silver and tea and coffee services. These can accent a lovely table setting, or be given as treasured gifts that will be passed through the family for years to come. A good selection of other desired small items are available including tea caddy boxes, desk and drinking requisites, apothecary bottles, crystal drinks glasses and decanters. See the listings, and enquire about other desired items that we might have available. A selection of small items have been moved to our USA location. US customers can call direct at 774 228-0026.
