A key question is the condition of a silver item and how much renovation work has been done. When selecting silver antiques that are over 200 years old they will probably have what is called a 'patina' which is a combination of the colour and the wear. You cannot expect an old silver article to appear as if it just came from the workshop - if it does then it has almost certainly been significantly restored which is not ideal for an item of antique silver.
Bear in mind that in the silver antiques world a small bit of restoration is acceptable where a small ding or dent may be carefully removed. But be warned of over plating, lead or silver solder, repaired seams, holes, erased inscriptions, patches and later enhancements or adornments. All of these are unacceptable for a piece of fine antique silver. Happily here at Regent Antiques we are cautious and offer only the finest unblemished silver pieces and if things like re-plating has been done we will tell you.
