Is antique silver rising in value?
After the crash in scrap silver prices in the late 1980s, the market for antique silver was up and down. There is more confidence now, but only for certain pieces. Domestic silver such as run of the mill tea services and cutlery are not as collectable as they used to be. Caddy spoons, wine labels, inkwells and other novelty pieces are still being sought after and prices are rising for good examples. It is important to emphasise that good condition and rarity are features which should be looked for when considering silver as an investment.
