Georgian silver refers to British sterling silver items produced during the reigns of King George I, II, III, and IV (1714-1830). This period saw significant stylistic shifts in silver design, ranging from the plain forms of the early Georgian era to the ornate Rococo and Neoclassical styles. Georgian silver encompasses a wide range of objects, including tableware, decorative pieces, and personal items. 

 

Mother-of-pearl was a popular material for Victorian silverware, particularly for handles on cutlery, serving pieces, and decorative items. It was prized for its iridescent luster and durability, making it a luxurious and attractive choice for both practical and decorative pieces.
