Silver plate
Silver plate darkens as it comes into contact with air. This is natural and does not mean the plating is damaged.
Silver-plated piecesCleaning
- Rinse in lukewarm water after use.
- If needed, use a little mild washing-up liquid and a soft sponge.
- Dry straight away with a lint-free cotton cloth.
Avoid: dishwasher, steel wool, abrasive sponges, bleach.
Polishing
- Wipe light tarnish with a silver polishing cloth.
- For heavier tarnish, use a little polish suitable for silver plate.
- Rinse and dry.
Every polish removes a thin layer; polish only when needed. The darker tone inside embossing is part of the pattern.
Storage
- Store completely dry.
- Wrap in acid-free paper, a cotton bag or an anti-tarnish bag.
- Keep in a cupboard free of damp.
Avoid: rubber bands, newspaper, cling film.
Egg, mayonnaise, mustard and salt tarnish silver quickly; if you have served them, clean the piece the same day.
Gold plate
Gold plate does not tarnish, but as a thin layer it is sensitive to rubbing. The aim of care is not to wear the surface.
Gold-plated piecesCleaning
- Dust with a soft, dry cloth.
- If needed, wipe gently with lukewarm water and a little mild soap.
- Dry straight away.
Avoid: dishwasher, abrasive sponges, chemical cleaners.
Polishing
Do not polish gold plate. Silver polishes and polishing cloths can wear away the gold layer. A dry, soft cloth is enough for a dulled surface.
Storage
Wrap and store pieces separately so they do not touch other metal; contact can cause scratches.
Brass and bronze
The body of our pieces is brass. Unplated or bronze-coloured surfaces darken over time and take on a warm patina.
The bronze surface is not plating but a patina applied to the brass, sealed with a protective lacquer.
Bronze piecesCleaning
- Wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
- If needed, wipe with a slightly damp cloth and dry straight away.
Avoid: dishwasher, soaking.
Polishing
Do not use brass polish until you know whether the surface is lacquered; polish can mark a lacquered surface. To keep the patina, wipe only with a dry cloth.
Storage
Store in a dry place free of damp.
Other materials
If you can separate it from the metal, wash it by hand on its own; do not wet the metal.
Wipe up anything acidic straight away; marble can stain from acid.
Do not soak; wipe with a damp cloth and dry.
Wipe with a slightly damp cloth and let it dry naturally; keep it away from heat.
