Tiffany & Co. Used: Vintage Silver and Cutlery

Tiffany & Co. has stood for New York silversmithing since 1837. Here you will find silver objects, cutlery and flatware used and vintage, every piece checked individually.

Tiffany & Co. Used: Vintage Silver and Cutlery

  • Tiffany und Co. has stood for American silver at a European level since 1837. Our focus here lies on table and bar objects; related pieces can be found in Table silver, in the Tableware selection and under Jewellery.

    What you will meet here

    • Bowls, trays and boxes in sterling silver
    • Bar accessories such as bottle openers, coolers and stirrers
    • Small desk objects and paperweights
    • Individual pieces of jewellery from various decades

    Why the hallmarks reveal so much

    The house has documented its production without gaps since the nineteenth century through systems of letters and numbers. Many pieces can therefore be dated to the decade and to the director responsible, often more precisely than with any European competitor.

  • Sustainability: silver is never lost

    Silver can be reworked as often as you like without losing substance. A bowl from the fifties becomes what it once was again through polishing. Producing new, by contrast, costs mining, energy and water for a material that has long been in circulation.

    How to use silver

    Silver looks best in use, not on display. Put the bowl on the table and place something in it rather than setting it in a cabinet. Against warm wood and linen it reads as homely, against chrome and glass as cool and formal. A light patina in the recesses may stay, it traces the shape.

    What the experts look for

    • A hallmark with maker's name, sterling mark and pattern number
    • Even wall thickness, particularly at rims and handles
    • Repairs at solder joints: cleanly finished rather than built up
    • Engravings belong to the history and rarely reduce the value

Frequently asked questions and answers

How do I recognise genuine Tiffany silver?

By the hallmarks: the Tiffany & Co. signature, usually with Sterling or 925, often with a pattern number. The stamps sit on the underside or rim; we photograph them for every piece.

Which Tiffany pieces do you carry?

Mainly flatware and hollowware: cutlery, bowls, trays and serving pieces, plus smaller objects for the interior. Much of it comes from ranges long out of production.

How do I care for tarnished silver?

Polish with a silver cloth along the grain and lift stubborn tarnish with a mild silver dip. Store dry afterwards, ideally with anti-tarnish strips, and the shine lasts a long time.

Does used Tiffany silver hold its value?

Hallmarked silverware keeps its material and collector value, and discontinued ranges partly appreciate. Buying used you pay well below list price and often get finer old workmanship.

Are these vintage pieces or simply used Tiffany pieces?

Both terms apply: vintage describes age and design language, used describes the history. How old a piece is and its condition is always stated with the item.
