Sell Your Silver in Norwich

Norwich was one of the great medieval cities of England and an important early centre of goldsmithing, with its own assay marks in use from the 16th and 17th centuries. Genuine Norwich-marked silver is rare and highly prized by collectors. Beyond its own makers, the wealth of the wool trade and the elegant Georgian streets of the city filled Norfolk homes with fine silver. If you've inherited any, Mozeris Fine Antiques will value and buy it: free insured courier from any Norwich address, and easy collection thanks to our nearby Essex showroom.

We're a family-run firm of antique and precious-metal specialists, based partly in Braintree, Essex — well placed for East Anglia — who read hallmarks for a living, including the rare Norwich marks. 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 Norwich 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 Norwich-assayed pieces are scarce and can be very valuable, so never sell good silver as scrap without a specialist opinion.

Understanding the Norwich Hallmark

Norwich's town marks are among the most distinctive of the early English provincial offices. The city used a castle over a lion (from its arms) as a town mark, and at times a crowned rose and a seeded rose as date or standard marks. Because Norwich assaying largely ceased by the early 18th century, genuine pieces are uncommon and correct identification is critical to value — early provincial silver of this kind is specialist territory. Send clear photos of any marks and we'll tell you what you have before quoting.
