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.
Derby has a proud manufacturing history — from the silk mills and the world-famous Royal Crown Derby porcelain to railway engineering — and that prosperity, together with the grand houses of Derbyshire and the Peak District, filled local homes with fine silver. If you've inherited a tea service, a canteen of cutlery, wine silver, candlesticks or antique silver of any kind, Mozeris Fine Antiques will value and buy it, with free insured courier from any Derby 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 Derby 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 Derby 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, wine labels, coasters and decanter silver, candlesticks and candelabra, canteens of cutlery and individual flatware, christening mugs and presentation pieces, sauce boats, entrée dishes, cigarette and vesta cases, photograph frames and small collectables, plus silver coins and scrap. Every piece is judged on its hallmarks, weight, maker and condition — fine maker silver is worth far more than melt value, so never sell good silver as scrap without a specialist opinion.

Why Derby 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 Derby silver lies, while a high-street "we buy gold" shop will usually pay melt only. Every valuation is free and without obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Selling silver in Derby — common questions.
How do I sell silver in Derby without travelling?
Send us photos for an indicative price, then we book a free, fully-insured courier from your Derby 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.
