Sell Your Silver in Inverness

Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, was an important centre of Scottish provincial silversmithing, and its makers struck their work with the burgh's own marks rather than a national assay stamp. Genuine Inverness and Highland silver is scarce and keenly collected today. Beyond its own makers, the prosperity of the Highland estates filled local homes with fine silver. If you've inherited any, Mozeris Fine Antiques will value and buy it: free insured courier from any Inverness 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 the Scottish provincial marks that high-street buyers routinely miss. Most of our 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 Inverness 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, vinaigrettes and small collectables, cigarette and vesta cases, photograph frames, plus silver coins and scrap. Scottish provincial and noted-maker pieces can command strong premiums, so never sell good Scottish silver as scrap without a specialist opinion.

Understanding Inverness Provincial Marks

Inverness silver carries provincial town marks rather than a national assay office stamp. Makers commonly used "INS" alongside their own maker's mark, and emblems associated with the burgh — such as a cornucopia or a camel (dromedary) device — appear on some pieces. Because there was no formal date-letter system, attributing Inverness silver depends on recognising makers and punches — specialist knowledge that directly affects value. Send clear photos of any marks and we'll identify maker, period and standard before quoting.
