Questions About Antique Silver Beads
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Identifying an antique bead is a careful art. First inspect the bead for any seams that could indicate it was molded in a contemporary fashion. Antique beads tend to have a larger center hole. Inspect the bead for signs of natural age. An expert can help you confirm the approximate age of your bead. Shop a range of antique beads from top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024
    What antique silver is depends on the context. In many cases, the term refers to silverware and silver decorative objects produced more than 100 years ago.

  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024
    To tell if a beaded purse is an antique, first look at the frame. Antiques will usually have die-stamped frames, so you should be able to see the pattern on both sides of the metal. The frame is typically cast with newer bags, resulting in the pattern only being on one side. Next, examine the clasps. If your bag is antique, you should be able to detect a gap or seam where the maker soldered on the clasp, while a newer reproduction will frequently have a one-piece clasp and frame with no seams. Finally, look at the interior lining. Antique purses often have a ribbon sewn onto the seam where the lining meets the frame, but this detail will usually not be present on a reproduction. If you have doubts about your bag's age, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of beaded bags.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Sterling silver is considered antique if it was made over 100 years ago. Many antique sterling silver items will have a mark or stamp. First, clean the item and check for marks.

  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024
    Yes, some antique silver plate is worth something.

There is generally a demand for certain older pieces by Christoffle, Elkington Co., Mapp Webb and other well-known manufacturers. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can evaluate the condition of your piece and give you an idea of how much it is worth.

The maker, style and type will also impact the potential resale value.

To get an estimated value for your silverware, consult a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. Explore a wide range of antique silverware on 1stDibs.
