Sell Your Silver in Aberdeen

Aberdeen, the Granite City, was an important centre of Scottish silversmithing, and its makers struck their work with the city's distinctive provincial marks long before assaying was centralised. Genuine Aberdeen silver — and Scottish provincial silver generally — is scarce and keenly collected today. Beyond its own makers, the wealth of the granite, fishing and later oil trades filled the city's homes with fine silver. If you've inherited any, Mozeris Fine Antiques will value and buy it: free insured courier from any Aberdeen address, instant valuations and same-day payment.

We're a family-run firm of antique and precious-metal specialists who read hallmarks for a living, including the Scottish provincial marks that high-street buyers routinely miss. Most of our sellers handle the whole sale from home — we collect by fully-insured, tracked courier at no cost, verify your silver at our office, and pay the same day. For larger collections we offer by-appointment valuations.

We Buy Silver From Aberdeen and Across the UK

We buy all genuine silver: sterling and Britannia standard, antique and modern, Scottish, English and continental. That includes tea and coffee services, trays and salvers, candlesticks and candelabra, canteens of cutlery and individual flatware, quaichs, snuff boxes and mulls, christening mugs and presentation pieces, sauce boats, cigarette and vesta cases, photograph frames and small collectables, plus silver coins and scrap. Scottish provincial pieces and noted-maker work can command strong premiums, so never sell good Scottish silver as scrap without a specialist opinion.

Understanding Aberdeen's Provincial Marks

Aberdeen silver carries provincial town marks rather than a national assay office stamp. The most common is "ABD" (often in a single punch), and earlier work used a triple-towered castle from the city's arms, struck alongside the individual maker's mark. Because there was no formal date-letter system as in Edinburgh or Glasgow, attributing Aberdeen silver depends on recognising makers and punches — specialist knowledge that directly affects value. Send clear photos of any marks and we'll identify maker, period and standard before quoting.
