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.
Photograph the whole piece, the underside and a close-up of the hallmarks.
Durham, with its great Norman cathedral and ancient university, is one of England's most historic cities, and the long-settled prosperity of the city and County Durham left a legacy of fine silver in local homes. Lying within the North East, once served by the Newcastle assay office, the region is also rich in scarcer local silver. If you've inherited a tea service, a canteen of cutlery, serving silver or antique silver of any kind, Mozeris Fine Antiques will value and buy it, with free FedEx collection from any Durham 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 North East sellers handle the whole sale from home; we arrange a free, tracked FedEx collection, 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 Durham 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, grape scissors and table 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. Genuine Newcastle-assayed pieces from the wider region can be keenly collected, so never sell good silver as scrap without a specialist opinion. Looking for a local buyer?

Why Durham Sellers Choose Mozeris
We buy directly, 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, including scarce North East pieces, which is where the real value lies, while a high-street "we buy gold" shop will usually pay melt only. Every valuation is free and without obligation.
Silver in Durham: A Historic Cathedral City
Durham's long history and the comfortable towns of the county left a legacy of quality silver. Much carries London or Sheffield marks, with scarcer Newcastle three-castles pieces appearing too. We regularly handle silver from the city centre, Chester-le-Street, Bishop Auckland, Durham's villages, Consett, Barnard Castle and across County Durham. Wherever you are, our free courier reaches you.
