Regent Antiques - antique sterling silver specialists

At Regent Antiques we take silver very seriously and usually have a large inventory of interesting and high quality items offered for sale and available to view in our North London showrooms where we have a highly knowledgeable team on hand to answer your questions and provide further information.

We offer sterling silver items from major celebrated silversmiths including Paul Storr and Hester Bateman, as well as many others such as W & G Sissons and William Hutton.

Visit us regularly to do your silver shopping

With so many of our our sterling silver and other silver items being collectors items and therefore in great demand, we really do recommend that you visit this category of our website regularly as these items have a tendency to come in to stock, quickly find a buyer, and then go straight out the door.

Often such items, once sold, can take considerable time for us to find replacements, if indeed we are able to find them at all. 

Let us do the antique sterling silver searching for you - register for our notification service

We have recently introduced a new free of charge service whereby we can notify you when a new item is listed in any of your categories of interest. This is the ideal way of making sure that you are fully aware of what we have available and not missing out on that item you have been searching for and wouldn’t want to miss when it finally becomes available. 

You can register for this service HERE.

A diverse range with silverware for every taste and requirement

From cutlery to cocktail shakers, champagne coolers to teapots, and sugar bowls to candlesticks. we really do have antique silverware in stock to meet almost every requirement. It is likely of course that most items we supply will actually not be used, except perhaps for very special occasions, but will instead be placed in a position of pride in a display cabinet for all to see and admire. 

Whatever your plans, we want you to be confident that your newly acquired antique silver pieces are in the condition that you require. We therefore provide a very comprehensive range of photographs with every item and we urge you to study these carefully before adding anything to your shortlist or indeed making a purchase.

You will also notice that detailed dimension data is supplied with every product listing so please satisfy yourself that your new item is of the size you envisage.

Seeing silver in person - a highly recommended thing to do

Acquiring a piece of antique sterling silver often requires a significant investment and it is always preferable to see the items for yourself before deciding to buy or reject a piece. For this reason we invite you to visit our north London showrooms any weekday between 10am and 5pm where you will be able to inspect our complete range for yourself. 

The showrooms are very easy to find being just a few yards from the Manor House tube station which is on the Piccadilly Line. Numerous bus routes also stop close by and we do have some car parking available for visitors coming by car. Please see the homepage for details of our occasional Saturday openings.

Alternatively, if you are not in the UK or cannot make the trip, we do have a full online service. If you need additional information about an item or have questions that need answering, please contact us by telephone or email and discuss it with one of our team of experts.

Delivery service available for sterling silver - worldwide

Whether you live in the UK or outside of the UK, we are able to carefully pack and ship your purchases to you. We request that you please ask for a shipping quote for your selected silver items to your destination.

If you are resident in the mainland UK then shipping will be free of charge.

Antique Silver George III Tureen William Bennett 1808 Birchall and Hayne 19th C

Antique Silver George III Tureen William Bennett 1808 Birchall and Hayne 19th C

This is a beautiful antique English George III sterling silver tureen and lid, with hallmarks for London 1808 and the makers mark WB for William Bennett. The tureen is beautiful in its simplicity. There is an engraved crest and a fabulous coat of arms which I have had researched: The Marital Arms of Families of Birchall and Hayne   The arms as engraved upon this George III English Sterling Silver Tureen by William Bennett hallmarked London 1808 are those of Birchall impaling Hayne.  These armorial bearings denote the marshalling of a marital coat showing on the dexter (the heraldic right on the left as you view the piece) the arms of the husband and on the sinister (the heraldic left on the right as you view it) the arms of the wife.  These armorial bearings may be blazoned as follows: Arms: (on the dexter)                        Argent on a chevron between three cross crosslets fitchy sable as many fleurs de lis of the first (for Birchall) (on the sinister)                       Or on a fess gules three bezants in chief a greyhound courant proper (for Hayne) Crest:                                       A lion rampant azure supporting a tree vert (for Birchall) Upon the balance of probability and without any evidence to the contrary these armorial bearings commemorate the marriage of an unnamed gentleman of the Birchall family who hailed from the Counties of Chester and Stafford to an unnamed daughter of a family of the Hayne family around the date of the manufacture and hallmarking of this particular piece.  It is supposed that the Birchalls took their name from Birchill in the County of Cheshire this being the original spelling of the name. The style of the engraving of both arms and crest are contemporary with the date cited.  It is a lovely piece which would be appreciated by both collectors and those who would like to use it at their next dinner party. Condition: In excellent condition with clear hallmarks and no dings, dents or signs of repair. Please see photos for confirmation.
