Sell Your Silver in Glasgow

Glasgow was the second city of the British Empire, and its merchant and industrial wealth filled the grand terraces of the West End and beyond with fine silver. The city had its own assay office until 1964, marking silver with its civic emblem — the tree, the bird, the bell and the fish — and good Glasgow silver is collected today. 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 Glasgow address, instant valuations and same-day payment.

We're a family-run firm of antique and precious-metal specialists who read hallmarks for a living, including Scottish marks that high-street buyers often misjudge. Most of our Glasgow 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 the same day. For larger collections we offer by-appointment valuations.

We Buy Silver From Glasgow and Across the UK

We buy all genuine silver: sterling and Britannia standard, antique and modern, Scottish, English and continental. That includes tea and coffee services, trays and salvers, candlesticks and candelabra, canteens of cutlery and individual flatware, quaichs, christening mugs and presentation pieces, sauce boats, entrée dishes, cigarette and vesta cases, photograph frames and small collectables, plus silver coins and scrap. Scottish and Glasgow-assayed pieces, and anything by noted Scottish makers, can command strong premiums — so never sell good Scottish silver as scrap without a specialist opinion.

Understanding the Glasgow Hallmark

Glasgow's town mark is the city's coat of arms — a tree with a bird, a bell and a fish (the fish often shown with a ring in its mouth). From 1819 Glasgow used the lion rampant as its standard mark alongside a date letter and the maker's mark; a thistle was also used for a period. Because the office closed in 1964, Glasgow silver has a defined date range. Reading these marks correctly is essential to an accurate offer — send clear photos and we'll identify the office, year, maker and standard before quoting.
