Hallmarks and marks
This piece carries the London assay office mark, and is recorded in the catalogue as London 1780. The maker’s mark is recorded as Burrage Davenport.
We read every mark under a glass and write down what is actually there. Where a mark is worn, struck twice or cannot be attributed with confidence, the catalogue says so rather than offering a likely name.

Care and preservation
A treated silver polishing cloth is usually enough for light tarnish; for heavier tarnish use a silver foam or cream, rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. Avoid silver dip for hollow pieces. Store wrapped in acid-free tissue or a tarnish-proof bag, and keep rubber bands away from silver.
Delivery and returns
All purchases include free UK delivery. UK orders are sent by trusted couriers, including FedEx, with tracked delivery typically arriving within a week of dispatch.
