Is true silverware worth anything?

1 Answer
Is true silverware worth anything?
Yes, true silverware may be worth something. The term true silverware typically refers to cutlery made of genuine sterling silver, a precious metal that has value on its own. Some silverware may be worth even more than the current market value for sterling due to its age, style, pattern, maker and other factors. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can give you an idea of what the value of your silverware may be based on these characteristics. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of silverware.
