Is English silver worth anything?

1 Answer
Is English silver worth anything?
Yes, some English silver is worth something. Collectors are often on the hunt for pieces produced by prominent British silversmiths, such as Elkington & Co., Paul Storr, Mappin & Webb, Hukin & Heath, Thomas Bradbury & Sons Ltd., Walker & Hall and James Dixon & Sons. In addition to the maker, factors that determine the potential value of silver wares include type, style, age, condition and level of rarity. A certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer can assist you with determining how much English silver in your collection may be worth.
