Sell Your Silver in Newcastle

Newcastle upon Tyne was an important silver-making town for centuries, with its own assay office operating until 1884. Genuine Newcastle silver — marked with the city's distinctive three castles — is now relatively scarce and keenly collected. The wealth of the coal, shipping and engineering trades also filled the homes of Newcastle, Gosforth, Jesmond and the wider North East with quality silver from across Britain. If you've inherited any, Mozeris Fine Antiques will value and buy it: free insured courier from any Newcastle 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 scarce Newcastle marks. Most of our North East 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 Newcastle 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, tankards, 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 in particular can carry strong collector premiums, so never sell good silver as scrap without a specialist opinion.

Understanding the Newcastle Hallmark

Newcastle's town mark is three separate castles (from the city's arms), and is the detail collectors look for first. Alongside it you'll find the standard mark — historically the lion passant, and for a period a leopard's head shared with other offices — plus a date letter and the maker's mark. Because the Newcastle office closed in 1884, genuine pieces are limited in number and correct identification is essential to value. Send clear photos of the marks and we'll tell you the office, period, maker and standard before quoting.
