About Antique Sterling Silver

Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals (pure silver is too soft for functional uses), which has been used for centuries to create ceremonial items. Sterling enjoyed a surge in popularity from the mid 1800s to early 1900s, and many antique sterling silver items from that era are highly sought by collectors, including English and French pieces, flatware, tea service pieces, trays, plates, pitchers, bowls and cups.
