As Colchester and north Essex have grown, generations of local families have accumulated fine silver (tea services, canteens of cutlery, salvers and presentation pieces) and we buy it all. Being local means we understand the area, and you have the reassurance of a nearby, established specialist rather than a faceless online buyer.
We Buy Silver From Colchester 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, maker and condition; fine maker silver is valued as antique silver, not by melt, so never sell good silver as scrap without a specialist opinion.
