How do you identify silver maker’s marks?
You can identify silver maker's marks in a couple of ways. One option is to simply take a photo of it and perform a reverse image search to see if you can find a match and learn who the maker is. Another way is to review images shared on trusted online platforms. You can also type a description of the marking into a search engine and explore the results, or have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer perform an identification for you. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of silver wares.
