Silver cutlery

Silver cutlery buying

Selling silver cutlery in the Ludwigsburg-Stuttgart area. We buy all types of silverware, silver cutlery or individual items, whether silver-plated or solid silver.

A few decades ago, it was Silver cutlery Once a mark of elegance on the dining table, today it is mostly regarded as household goods that people no longer know what to do with – usually inherited from parents or grandparents. The most important factor determining the value of silver cutlery is its silver content. Contrary to popular belief, silver cutlery is not made of 100% silver. A distinction is made here between solid silver and silver-plated items. The hallmark stamped on each piece of cutlery provides an indication of its silver content.

Possible hallmarks on silver-plated cutlery: 60, 80, 90, 100 or 120. Solid silver cutlery, on the other hand, has a high fine silver content. Possible hallmarks include 800 (indicating 80% fine silver content), 835, 925 and others.

Silver cutlery through the ages

Fine silver cutlery is the best proof that times have truly changed. Standards are simply different now. Whereas in the past, shared meals were still celebrated, many families no longer even sit down together at the table due to time constraints.

And even if they do, they eat from crockery made by a Swedish furniture manufacturer, and the cutlery is often colourful, with plastic handles. Even in grandmother’s day, it was still customary to bring out the fine silver cutlery, at least on Sundays, and polish it with care. A sumptuous meal was not taken for granted, and using the appropriate silverware was a way of showing one’s respect.

This also explains why silver cutlery is so commonly passed on and will remain in the family for many decades to come.

Selling Silver Cutlery at unexpectedly high prices

Although silver cutlery is not made of pure silver (100%), but is often merely silver-plated, it remains elegant and valuable. We’ll offer you a fair price even for silver-plated items; solid silver cutlery naturally has a higher silver content and commands a higher price. In any case, you’ll get much more for your silverware when you sell it than if it’s left gathering dust in the cellar, as your grandparents probably wouldn’t have wanted that either.
