  • Sterling Silver - Sterling silver is a mixture of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% of another metal, usually copper. Fine silver is 99.9% pure silver, and is relatively soft and the addition of the very small amount of copper gives the metal enough strength and hardness to be worked into jewellery, decorative and household objects.
  • Brandy Warmer - A brandy warmer is a decorative container, traditionally made of silver, used to heat and serve brandy. The container typically has a handle, a spout for pouring, and a removable lid, and it's designed to keep the brandy warm and to enhance the flavours and aromas of the drink.

    Brandy warmers were commonly used during the 19th century in Britain and America, especially in upper-class society. Many of these warmers were made of silver, as it was an expensive material that symbolized wealth and luxury. They were often used as a serving piece during formal meals, and were also used for special occasions like Christmas or New Year's celebrations.

    The design of these warmers vary. Some were simple and plain and others were more elaborate with intricate engravings or other decorative details. They were made by different silversmiths and manufacturers and can be found in different styles and sizes, varying from the traditional and classical to the more modern and bold designs.
