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.
Manchester built its fortune on cotton, commerce and the great Victorian merchant houses — and with that wealth came fine silver. Across Greater Manchester, from Didsbury and Chorlton to Altrincham, Sale, Bolton and Stockport, generations of well-to-do families bought and inherited substantial sterling: tea services, canteens of cutlery, salvers and presentation pieces. If that silver has passed to you, Mozeris Fine Antiques will value and buy it, with free insured courier from any Manchester address and same-day payment.
You don't need to travel to sell. We're a family-run firm of antique and precious-metal specialists, and the great majority of our Manchester sellers never leave the house — 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 hold by-appointment valuations.
We Buy Silver From Manchester 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. We assess every piece on its hallmarks, weight, maker and condition — fine maker silver (Paul Storr, Hester Bateman, Garrard, Mappin & Webb and others) is worth far more than melt value, so never sell good silver as scrap without a specialist opinion.

Why Manchester 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 — you get a firm figure and immediate payment. Compared with a local pawnbroker or "we buy gold" shop, a specialist antique buyer recognises maker, period and rarity, which is exactly where the real value of Manchester silver lies. Every valuation is free and without obligation.
Silver in Manchester — A Merchant City's Legacy
The cotton boom of the 19th century made Manchester one of the wealthiest cities in the world, and that prosperity filled the homes of Cheshire and south Manchester with quality plate. Sheffield — the nearest assay office, whose rose (and historically crown) mark sits on so much northern flatware — supplied much of the region's cutlery and hollowware, while pieces also travelled up from the London and Birmingham trades. We regularly handle silver from Didsbury, Chorlton, Altrincham, Hale, Bowdon, Wilmslow, Sale, Bolton, Bury, Stockport and the city centre. Wherever you are in the region, our free courier reaches you, so selling is simple even if you can't travel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Selling silver in Manchester — common questions.
How do I sell silver in Manchester without travelling?
Send us photos for an indicative price, then we book a free, fully-insured courier from your Manchester 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.
