Antique sterling silver encompasses some of the most beautiful artistic pieces from the 18th to 20th centuries. These items can be as simple as an octagon tray from Matthew Boulton to an elaborate tea kettle on stand from Rebecca Emes and Edward Barnerd. The majority of our items are fantastic pieces of history that are found in museums throughout the world. These silversmiths were true artisans of their time and their works will continue to appreciate in value throughout the years, making them wonderful investments.

Most of our collection at Solvang Antiques is comprised of antique English silver. The English were known for their noteworthy silversmiths whose exquisite works are exhibited throughout our store. Paul Storr and Hester Bateman are just two of the talented makers that we feature. Whether it is repousse or engraving that you love, we have something to fit your style and needs. Our collection ranges from large trays to tiny tongs. The English had a specific serving utensil for everything from strawberry, lemon and olive forks to asparagus tongs. We have a wonderful collection of everything you need for a proper English tea to the grandest of dinners.

If you are looking for antique American silver you will find that we have a nice selection of these items as well. We have several gorgeous pieces from Tiffany & Co, Gorham and many more.
