On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of antique sterling silver wares.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024Whether antique silverware is real silverware or not varies. Many antique flatware pieces feature silver plate, so they consist of a base metal beneath a layer of genuine silver. There is also flatware made entirely from sterling silver, which is an alloy that is 92.5% silver and 7.5% base metal.

A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can also assist you. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of antique silverware.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024Yes, some antique silver plate is worth something. However, any value that a piece has usually comes from its rarity rather than from the cost of its materials, because silver plate contains very little pure silver.

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. Antique pieces are 100 years old or older, and because of their age, pieces in good condition may be sought after by collectors due to their rarity. The maker, style and type will also impact the potential resale value.

To get an estimated value for your silverware, consult a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. Explore a wide range of antique silverware on 1stDibs.
