Antique Sterling Silver Teaset – Barnard Bros London 1860 – 1.3kg Total


Step into the grace of a bygone era with this exquisite hallmarked sterling silver tea set, comprising a teapot, sugar bowl, and creamer — each a gleaming testament to the timeless artistry of Edward and John Barnard.

Crafted circa 1860 and bearing the distinguished London hallmark, this refined ensemble reflects the grandeur of late 19th-century English silverwork. The makers’ mark, EB over JB, speaks to the heritage of one of Britain’s most esteemed silversmithing families, whose creations graced the parlours of the discerning and the privileged.

The flowing forms, balanced proportions, and delicate detailing speak of an age when craftsmanship was cherished and beauty met function in every pour and passing gesture. Weighing an impressive 1.315 kilograms, the set exudes both visual elegance and substantial presence, making it a centrepiece of any fine collection.

Whether admired for its sculptural grace or pressed into service for the most refined of gatherings, this tea set remains a luxurious relic of silver’s golden age — a perfect union of English heritage and enduring sophistication.


Hallmarked silver refers to silver that has been officially tested and marked by an authorised assay office to verify its purity, origin, and maker. A hallmark is a series of stamped symbols applied to silver items to certify that they meet recognised standards, usually for sterling silver, which is typically 92.5% pure silver.

So, when a piece like your Edward and John Barnard tea set is "hallmarked silver," it means it has been officially certified — in this case, likely by the London Assay Office around 1860 — and is recognised as authentic sterling silver.

I had been looking for XVN rings as I love the style. This jasper ring is perfect. It arrived promptly and was packaged in its own ring box. I also purchased 3 other XVN rings and was pleasantly surprised that a postal refund was given as they came together in the same parcel.
