Questions About Silver With Ivory
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
    African ivory is a hard, white substance derived from the tusks and teeth of elephants, hippopotami, walruses, warthogs, sperm whales, and narwhals, as well as now-extinct mammoths and mastodons. For millennia, ivory has been a status symbol — it is a rare and alluring material, a luxury product that is derived from elephants, a highly respected animal in Africa and elsewhere.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Ivory is so precious because of its cultural value as a status symbol. A single pound of ivory can sell for $1,500 and elephant tusks can weigh around 250 pounds.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    An ivory miniature is a tiny portrait painted on a backing of ivory. Miniatures first started appearing in the 16th century, and carrying one is today's equivalent of keeping a loved one’s photo in your wallet. You can find a collection of vintage ivory miniatures on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Carved ivory is typically for creating art, decorative objects and furniture. Ivory is a hard material sourced from the teeth and tusks of certain animals. Most carved ivory comes from elephants. Shop as selection of carved ivory furniture and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Mammoth ivory is ivory that comes from the tusks of any species of mammoth, which is part of the extinct Mammuthus group. Most people are familiar with the woolly mammoths which went extinct 4000 years ago. On 1stDibs, find mammoth ivory from top sellers around the world.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, mammoth ivory is extremely valuable due to the fact that mammoths have been extinct for over 1000 years. Ivory was used for many large works of art, religious objects and decorative boxes. Shop a selection of vintage ivory items on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not a boar tusk is ivory depends on the species. The babirusa hogs from Indonesia are one species that has ivory tusks. Shop a collection of ivory decorative objects and jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, mammoth tusks are ivory. Other animals that feature ivory teeth and tusks include elephants, walruses, hippopotamuses and killer whales. On 1stDibs, you can shop a selection of ivory jewelry and decorative objects from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    You can often tell the age of an ivory piece by its color. Since ivory is a natural material, it acquires a patina over time. An ivory patina is usually dull yellow or brown — beware of a bright yellow patina, as this could indicate artificial aging. If your ivory piece doesn’t have a maker’s mark or date on it, take it to an expert to identify the exact era it came from. Shop a collection of vintage ivory art from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    Mammoth ivory is worth between $50 and $150 per pound. However, because mammoths lived about 4,000 years ago, their ivory is not necessarily easy to find and sell.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    The difference between silver and antique silver is age. Items of any age made of silver or a silver alloy may be called silver. The term antique silver refers to silver pieces that are at least 100 years old. On 1stDibs, shop a range of antique, vintage and modern silver tableware and decorative objects.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    Yes, Taxco silver is real silver. Pieces bearing the Taxco mark come from silversmith workshops located in Taxco, Mexico. The region has been known as a major center for silver production since the 1920s. Find a diverse assortment of Taxco silver jewelry, tableware and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, Gorham silver is real silver, however, the silver content changes depending on the item. Some Gorham items are sterling silver, which isn’t pure silver, but a mix of mostly silver and a small amount of another alloy, likely copper. Some other Gorham items are silver-plated. Shop a collection of Gorham silver jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, Russian silver is real silver, but it gets a little confusing because they do not have the same sterling silver standards that Europe, Australia, Canada, the United States and other countries associated with the British Commonwealth have. Russian silver is roughly 94.79% pure silver and the rest is copper or other alloys. The British Commonwealth silver standard uses 92.5% pure silver and the rest is copper or other alloys. Shop a collection of authentic Russian silver from some of the worlds top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    Yes, electroplated silver is real silver. However, it is not solid silver. Electroplating is the process of coating a base metal with a thin layer of precious metal. In the case of electroplated silver, sterling or pure silver may be used as the precious metal. Due to the manufacturing process, an electroplated piece will consist primarily of another type of metal, such as nickel. Shop a large selection of silver wares on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    Yes, some Wallace silver is real silver. In 1875, Wallace introduced its line of sterling silver flatware, which was 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy metals. The silversmith is perhaps best known for its ornate sterling patterns from the 1930s and 40s. Among these were Wallace Rose Point, Sir Christopher, Stradivari, Grand Baroque and Romance of the Sea. It's important to note that silverware produced by Wallace prior to 1875 usually isn't real silver. Before the release of the Wallace sterling range, the company primarily manufactured pieces made with German silver, a copper-nickel alloy that contains no real silver. Shop a selection of Wallace silver wares on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
    Yes, argent silver is real silver. Also called argentium silver, it is an alloy that consists of 93.5% to 96% silver, depending on the manufacturer's formula. Instead of being mixed entirely with copper, the pure silver in argentium silver is usually combined with a blend of copper and germanium, giving the metal improved heat and stain resistance. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of silver jewelry, tableware and decorative objects.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not antique silver is real depends on the piece. Sometimes, manufacturers simply call a gray-silver finish antique silver. In these cases, the item is usually not real silver. It is possible for antique silver to be pure silver, sterling or silver plated. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of silver decorative objects and jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    Yes, Poole Silver is real silver. However, the American silversmith didn't produce all of its pieces out of solid silver. Poole developed an electro-plating technique that allowed a thin, durable layer of silver to be applied over sturdy base metals. On 1stDibs, find a range of Poole Silver Co. silver wares.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Most thai silver has more pure silver in it than standard sterling silver. Most sterling silver is 92.5% silver with another alloy, typically copper, making up the rest of the metal. Thai silver often falls in the range of 97.5-99% pure silver, so a significantly higher percentage of it is pure silver, making it softer and less likely to tarnish. On 1stDibs, find vintage and contemporary silver jewelry from top sellers around the world.
