Silver Items That Are Popular With Antique Dealers

Silver is seeing a resurgence in value over the last year or so, which is consequently influencing the price of silver antiques, pushing it up. While this is excellent news for antique dealers who deal in silver, it might not be so good for the people looking to purchase antiques made from silver. Below are some of the most popular silver items that you may wish to buy sooner, rather than later, and you could see the value skyrocket soon.

Silver has been popular with jewellery makers for a long time, and it is a hardwearing and durable metal that can be made into intricately beautiful designs. You can find trusted dealers near you that will have a wide variety of jewellery for sale, and the cost will be much less than their gold counterparts.

Silver Flatware

Silver flatware has been a popular choice for hundreds of years for wealthy people, but it is also affordable for people who are less well off. Silver flatware includes:

• Knives
• Forks
• Spoons
• Serving Pieces

It would be best to get it from dealers selling antique silver in London or in your local area as you can ensure that your flatware is solid silver, rather than silver-plated. You will not want to be using it for everyday living. You can use the silverware on special occasions, and there should be no damage done but ensure when you are cleaning it afterwards that you do it by hand using a soft cloth and mild detergent.

Dining & Serving Pieces

Dinnerware and serving pieces made from silver are also popular for antique dealers and collectors alike, and there are many different options from which you can choose. You can purchase silver dinner plates, serving platters, bowls, candy dishes, tea sets, coffee pots, and coasters, all of which are highly collectable and will increase in value as the price of silver goes up.

Decorative Objects

You will also find that there is a vast array of different decorative objects made from silver when you look at the many antique dealers and the items that they have for sale. There are silver picture frames, candlesticks, vases, and much more from which you can choose, and these objects can be displayed with pride in your home and used on occasion, if you are careful.  

Personal Care Items

Many different personal care items are made from silver and are highly collectable, and there are lots of choices from which you can pick. There are silver hairbrushes, dresser sets, shoe button hooks, and mirrors that are all excellent items to collect that you can still use and enjoy, while their value increases.

Silver coins and medals are also highly collectable, and there is always a demand for these items. Silver has been used to mint coins for thousands of years, and the market has lots of options available if you are looking to invest in these silver collectables. Medals are also highly collectable, and if there is provenance, this can also help to increase their value to an avid collector. 

These are some of the most popular silver items with antique dealers and collectors alike and investing in silver objects that you like before the price of silver increases more, will make for a wise investment.
