SILVER WE BUY
STERLING SILVER
Sterling silver remains one of the most common and sought-after categories we purchase. We regularly buy sterling silver flatware, tea services, coffee services, serving pieces, trays, bowls, candlesticks, hollowware, and decorative objects from both individual owners and estate collections. While many people assume silver is valued solely by weight, the reality is often more nuanced. Maker, pattern, age, craftsmanship, rarity, condition, and collector demand can all influence value. Pieces by important manufacturers such as Tiffany & Co., Gorham, Georg Jensen, Reed & Barton, Towle, Wallace, and other respected makers frequently command premiums beyond their silver content. Whether you are selling a few pieces discovered in a cabinet or a complete sterling silver collection accumulated over generations, we provide professional evaluations based on both current silver prices and collector demand.
EUROPEAN SILVER
European silver represents one of the most diverse and fascinating areas of the silver market. We regularly purchase English silver, French silver, German silver, Dutch silver, Russian silver, Scandinavian silver, and other European examples. Many pieces feature detailed hallmark systems that can reveal the country of origin, city, maker, and even the year of manufacture. Silver by makers such as Christofle, Georg Jensen, Puiforcat, Buccellati, Mappin & Webb, Elkington, and other prestigious firms often attracts strong collector interest. Decorative serving pieces, tea services, flatware, presentation pieces, and unique decorative objects can all carry value beyond silver weight alone. Whether you own a single inherited piece or an extensive European silver collection, we provide knowledgeable evaluations based on both collector demand and current market conditions.
ANTIQUE SILVER
Antique silver often possesses qualities that extend well beyond its intrinsic metal value. We purchase Victorian silver, Edwardian silver, Art Nouveau silver, Art Deco silver, Mid-Century silver, and earlier examples from both American and European makers. Antique silver frequently appeals to collectors because of its craftsmanship, historical significance, rarity, and design. Hallmarks, maker's marks, provenance, and original condition can all play an important role in determining value. Over the years, we have purchased antique tea services, presentation pieces, centerpieces, serving trays, candlesticks, and decorative objects from estates throughout New Jersey and New York. Whether your silver has been passed down through generations or recently inherited, we can help identify important characteristics and determine its current market value.
DESIGNER & IMPORTANT MAKERS
The maker is often one of the most important factors in determining the value of silver. We regularly purchase silver by Tiffany & Co., Georg Jensen, Gorham, Reed & Barton, Towle, Wallace, Christofle, Puiforcat, Buccellati, Whiting, Dominick & Haff, Kirk & Son, and many other recognized manufacturers. Pieces by important makers are frequently sought after by collectors because of their quality, design, craftsmanship, and historical significance. In many cases, a desirable maker's mark can make the difference between a piece valued primarily for silver content and one that carries substantial collector value. Whether you own a single Tiffany serving piece, a Georg Jensen flatware service, or an entire collection accumulated over decades, we can provide a professional evaluation based on current market demand and recent sales activity.
FLATWARE, TEA SETS & SERVING PIECES
Complete sterling silver flatware services and tea services remain among the most frequently requested categories in the silver market. We purchase complete and partial flatware services, serving sets, tea and coffee services, serving trays, tureens, and associated silver accessories. Popular patterns from Tiffany & Co., Gorham, Reed & Barton, Towle, Wallace, International Silver, and other makers often generate strong interest from collectors and buyers. Many families inherit sterling silver that has spent years stored in cabinets, safety deposit boxes, or estate inventories without realizing its potential value. While silver content is always considered, complete services, desirable patterns, and well-preserved examples often command significantly higher prices. We evaluate each collection individually to determine both intrinsic and collectible value.
INHERITED COLLECTIONS & ESTATES
Many of our clients contact us after inheriting silver from parents, grandparents, relatives, or family estates. Inherited collections often include a combination of sterling flatware, tea services, serving pieces, trays, candlesticks, hollowware, and decorative silver accumulated over many years. Determining value can be challenging, particularly when collections contain pieces from multiple makers, different time periods, and varying levels of rarity. Our goal is to simplify the process by identifying important makers, evaluating hallmarks, assessing collector demand, and distinguishing between pieces valued primarily for silver content and those that possess additional collectible significance. Whether you are settling an estate, downsizing a family collection, or simply looking to understand the value of inherited silver, we provide professional guidance and competitive offers throughout New Jersey, New York City, and the Tri-State Area.

Damaged silver can still have value. We frequently purchase worn flatware, dented serving pieces, incomplete services, and collections containing mixed pieces. While condition is an important factor, maker, rarity, silver content, and collector demand may still contribute significantly to value. Even incomplete collections can often be attractive to buyers and collectors.
-
The value of silver depends on several factors including silver content, weight, maker, pattern, age, rarity, condition, craftsmanship, and current market demand. While some pieces are valued primarily for their silver content, others may carry significant collector value. Sterling flatware, tea services, and silver by important makers are frequently worth more than their intrinsic metal value. Every collection is unique, which is why professional evaluation is important.
-
Absolutely. We regularly purchase antique silver from the Victorian, Edwardian, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and Mid-Century periods. Antique silver often possesses value beyond its precious metal content due to craftsmanship, rarity, historical significance, and collector interest.
