About Pewter
Pewter is an alloy, primarily of tin but with smaller amounts of other metals including copper and antimony, varying depending upon the application. It is the 4th most valuable metal in common use after platinum, gold and silver.
History of Pewter
In Europe, pewter dates back to Roman times and was initially associated with the wealthy. From the 18th century onwards it became more widely used for finer trinkets and tableware before being gradually replaced by porcelain and glass.
Caring for your Pewter item
Our products can retain their finish for years but can be cleaned easily. We recommend buffing with a virtually dry cloth with the smallest amount of metal polish. Experts would recommend that antique pewter items are cleaned with warm, soapy water.
