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.
Few English cities have a deeper relationship with fine silver than Cambridge. Its colleges have commissioned and treasured presentation plate, ceremonial cups and engraved flatware for over seven centuries, and that culture of quality silver runs through the city's homes too. If you've inherited a tea service, a canteen of cutlery, presentation pieces or antique silver of any kind, Mozeris Fine Antiques will value and buy it — free insured courier from any Cambridge address, or easy collection thanks to our nearby Essex showroom.
We're a family-run firm of antique and precious-metal specialists, based partly in Braintree, Essex — under an hour from Cambridge — which makes us especially convenient for Cambridgeshire sellers. Most 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 offer by-appointment valuations.
We Buy Silver From Cambridge 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, goblets and presentation cups, 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. Engraved college, club or presentation silver in particular can carry real collector interest.

Why Cambridge 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, engraving and rarity, which is exactly where the value of Cambridge silver often lies, while a high-street "we buy gold" shop will usually pay melt only. Every valuation is free and without obligation.
Silver in Cambridge — Colleges, Plate and Tradition
From the great college halls to the city's Regency and Victorian townhouses, Cambridge has long been a home for ceremonial and domestic silver alike. Presentation cups, rose bowls, salvers and engraved flatware regularly come to us from the city and the surrounding villages. Much fine silver here was retailed through London, carrying the leopard's head of the London Assay Office, with other pieces marked in Birmingham or Sheffield. We regularly handle silver from the city centre, Trumpington, Cherry Hinton, Newnham, Histon, Great Shelford, Ely and the wider county. Wherever you are in Cambridgeshire, our free courier reaches you.
