Sterling Silver Flatware Buyers
If you inherited a sterling silver flatware set that you no longer use, American Estate Buyers can evaluate the entire collection.
We purchase individual pieces as well as complete sterling flatware services, including forks, spoons, knives, serving utensils and specialty pieces.
Sets from established American and European silver manufacturers are welcome, along with mixed collections assembled over many years.
Patterns, makers, condition, completeness and the types of pieces included in a service can all be relevant when evaluating a collection.
Sterling Silver Tea Set Buyers
Sterling silver tea and coffee services are among the larger silver objects frequently encountered in estates.
We buy individual pieces and complete services including teapots, coffee pots, creamers, sugar bowls, trays and related serving pieces.
Pieces by recognized silversmiths and manufacturers may deserve additional consideration because of their maker, design, age or desirability.
If you are unsure whether a tea set is sterling silver, silver plate or another material, bring it to us for evaluation.
Sterling Silver Jewelry Buyers
American Estate Buyers also purchases sterling silver jewelry.
We are interested in individual pieces as well as larger jewelry collections, including rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, brooches, buckles and other sterling silver accessories.
Designer, vintage, Native American, Mexican and artist made silver jewelry may have characteristics that distinguish it from ordinary sterling pieces, so we evaluate the jewelry itself rather than treating every item the same.
Signed and unusual pieces are especially worth showing us.
Sterling Silver Marks and Makers
Many sterling silver pieces are marked with words or symbols identifying their silver content or manufacturer.
Common markings may include:
- Sterling
- 925
- 925/1000
- Manufacturer or silversmith names
- Hallmarks or maker symbols
Do not worry if the markings are worn, difficult to read or unfamiliar. Older pieces may have small or partially obscured marks.
Our evaluation can take the maker, type of object, design, age, condition and other characteristics into consideration.
We Buy Signed and Collectible Sterling Silver
Certain sterling silver objects can have additional interest because of the company, designer or silversmith that produced them.
We are interested in silver by well known American and European makers as well as unusual antique and artist made pieces.
Examples may include sterling silver by Tiffany & Co., Georg Jensen, Gorham, Reed & Barton, Wallace and other recognized manufacturers and designers.
If you have a signed sterling silver collection, we recommend having the pieces examined before deciding how to sell them.
