On 1stDibs, shop a collection of silverware from some of the world's top sellers.

What is the highest quality silverware?

The highest quality of silverware is sterling silver, which is 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent base metal.

What does 1847 mean on silverware?

On silverware, 1847 means that a piece was produced by a particular maker. Specifically, 1847 was part of the hallmark used by the American silversmith Rogers Brothers. The number 1847 represents the founding year of the company, not the manufacturing year of the silverware that bears the marking. Find a large selection of silverware on 1stDibs.

How can I tell if silverware is real silver?

To tell if silverware is real silver, examine its markings. You may need a magnifying glass to do so. Most real sterling silver silverware will feature a hallmark that says "925," "STER" or "92.5%." If you're unable to find or clearly see a marking, consult a knowledgeable expert, such as an appraiser or antiques dealer, for assistance. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of silverware.

Is sterling silverware solid silver?

No, sterling silver, no matter what it’s used to make, is not solid silver. In most countries, the sterling standard is 92.5% silver with an additive alloy, usually copper, making up the rest of the sterling silver. Sterling silver is harder than pure silver and much more useful as tableware. Shop a collection of sterling silver from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

Is sterling silverware worth anything?

No, sterling silverware is not worth much. Sterling silver does not have enough silver content to have scrap value. Unique and rare silverware, however, may have a value that exceeds its scrap value.

What does the IS mark on Rogers silverware mean?

What the IS mark means on Rogers silverware is International Silver. The company purchased Rogers in 1898, and its initials appeared on the silversmith's pieces afterward. The IS mark does not provide any indication of what type of silver a particular piece features. Shop a selection of Rogers silver wares on 1stDibs.

How old is WM Rogers silverware?

How old WM Rogers silverware is varies. William Rodgers produced silverware under his own name off and on from the 1840s to 1873. To find out the age of a particular silverware set, seek the help of a licensed appraiser. Find a collection of antique and vintage silverware on 1stDibs.

Is Rogers silverware real silver?

Yes, Rogers silverware is real silver, but how much silver the maker's pieces contain varies. The vast majority of Rogers silverware features silver plating, so it is predominantly a base metal with only a thin layer of silver over top. To determine the content of a particular piece, look for hallmarks on its surface. Then, use trusted online resources or work with an antiques specialist to determine the meaning of the marks. Collectors should note that there are in fact many silver firms with “Rogers” in their name (F.B. Rogers Silver Co., Wm. Rogers Mfg. Co., C. Rogers & Brothers, and more). Shop a collection of antique silverware on 1stDibs.
