Don't Polish It—Value It!

Many Southport homes have solid silver tea services, platters, or boxed cutlery sets passed down through generations, often sitting tarnished at the back of a sideboard. Because silver requires regular maintenance, many owners don't realise how much raw material value these heavy items hold.

  • Solid Silver vs. Silver Plate (EPNS): We help you identify genuine silver hallmarks (such as the Lion Passant mark) versus electroplated base metals.
  • Any Condition Accepted: Tarnishing, dents, or missing pieces do not reduce the raw precious metal value of solid silver.
  • Convenient Showroom or Home Visit: Heavy silver tea sets and canteen cutlery can be bulky to carry. Take advantage of our Free Home Visit service to have bulky silver items appraised in your living room.
