What Is Your Silver Worth?
Send photos of your silver and any hallmarks for a free, no-obligation valuation. We reply within one working day.
Bristol was one of England's great merchant ports, and the wealth of its shipping and trading families filled the city's Georgian houses — in Clifton, Redland and beyond — with fine silver. Bristol even had its own goldsmiths producing quality plate in the 18th century. If you've inherited a tea service, a canteen of cutlery, candlesticks or antique silver of any kind, Mozeris Fine Antiques will value and buy it, with free insured courier from any Bristol address and same-day payment.
You don't need to travel. We're a family-run firm of antique and precious-metal specialists, and most of our Bristol 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 you the same day. For higher-value collections we also offer by-appointment valuations.
We Buy Silver From Bristol and Across the UK
We buy all genuine silver: sterling and Britannia standard, antique and modern, English and continental. That includes tea and coffee services, trays and salvers, candlesticks and candelabra, canteens of cutlery and individual flatware, christening mugs and presentation pieces, sauce boats, entrée dishes, cigarette and vesta cases, photograph frames, vinaigrettes and small collectables, plus silver coins and scrap. Every piece is judged on its hallmarks, weight, maker and condition — fine maker silver (Paul Storr, Hester Bateman, Garrard, Mappin & Webb and others) is worth far more than melt value, so never sell good silver as scrap without a specialist opinion.

Why Bristol Sellers Choose Mozeris
We pay fairly against the live silver price, with no auction commission, no listing fees and no waiting months for a sale — a firm figure and immediate payment. A specialist antique buyer recognises maker, period and rarity, which is where the real value of Bristol silver lies, while a high-street "we buy gold" shop will usually pay melt only. Every valuation is free and without obligation.
Silver in Bristol — A Merchant Port's Wealth
As a major trading port, Bristol drew goods and silver from across Britain and beyond, and its prosperous Georgian and Victorian households bought generously. Much of the city's silver was retailed through London and carries the leopard's head, with other pieces marked in Birmingham, Sheffield or Exeter (which served the wider West Country). We regularly handle silver from Clifton, Redland, Cotham, Stoke Bishop, Henleaze, Westbury-on-Trym, Bath's neighbouring villages and the city centre. Wherever you are in the South West, our free courier reaches you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Selling silver in Bristol — common questions.
How do I sell silver in Bristol without travelling?
Send us photos for an indicative price, then we book a free, fully-insured courier from your Bristol address. You never have to leave home.
How quickly will I be paid?
By same-day bank transfer once your silver is verified at our office and you accept our offer. No fees deducted.
How much is my silver worth?
It depends on weight, standard (sterling/Britannia), maker, age and condition. Fine maker pieces far exceed melt value. Send photos for a free, accurate valuation.
Is the courier really free?
Yes — fully insured, tracked collection at no cost to you, and free return if you decline our final offer.
Should I sell to a local "we buy gold" shop instead?
Those shops often pay melt only. As antique specialists we recognise maker and period, so fine pieces are usually worth considerably more to us.
Do you buy continental and unhallmarked silver?
Yes — continental, Britannia, and older or worn pieces. Send photos of any marks and we'll identify and value it.
