- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024Yes, some antique sterling silver is valuable. Sterling silver of any age has value as a material because it is a precious metal.

- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024Whether antique silverware is real silverware or not varies.

- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024Yes, some antique silver plate is worth something.

A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can evaluate the condition of your piece and give you an idea of how much it is worth. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of silver plate tableware, serveware and decorative objects.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024Yes, some silver-plated antique silverware may be worth something.

The maker, style and type will also impact the potential resale value.
