We Buy Silver for Fair and Competitive Market Prices

Many individuals inherit or collect antique silverware and want to ensure they receive a fair and competitive offer.

Our service allows you to bypass the hassle, delays, and fees associated with auctions, providing a straightforward and efficient selling experience.

Get a valuation

Burlingtons can offer prices unachievable at auction. We offer a free no obligation valuation in the comfort of your own home.

Our Quick and Efficient Service

Silver antiques are one of the most important things that we buy from our clients. Burlingtons Ltd has been buying and selling antique, vintage or modern silverware for many years. Our experts are on hand to give you the best valuation possible.

Many people may have antique sterling silver trays or old silver jewellery in their families, so it is a popular type of item that we see. It’s also something our experts have extensive knowledge of, so they can offer you the best possible information on it during valuation.

 

Simple and Competitive Valuations

We will give you a good price for most kinds of silver pieces you never use: the silverware you only use once a year, the tea sets you only get out when the party is over, or the inherited pieces you have never found a use for. If you have any antique, vintage or modern silver that you would like to sell, we have an interest in buying from you.

    Speaking to an Expert

    Obtaining an accurate valuation of your silverware is essential to ensure you fully understand its true worth. Silverware, especially antique or vintage pieces, can hold significant value due to factors such as age, craftsmanship, condition, and rarity. Without a precise assessment, you risk undervaluing your items and potentially accepting less than they are worth.

    An accurate valuation not only helps you secure the best possible price but also provides clarity about the market demand for your specific pieces. Whether your silverware is a family heirloom, a collector’s item, or a decorative set, understanding its value allows you to make informed decisions about selling or retaining it.

    The Benefits of Selling Silver to Us

    No auction fees: There are no hidden fees or commission charges when you sell your silverware with us. Many people think that using an auction is a good choice, but lots of times it is a lot more expensive than they think. It’s possible to pay up to 40% of the final price in fees when using an auction.

    Good prices on valuation: A piece of silverware will reach a good price from the right buyer. When you sell with us we place your silver using a network of people to find the best value. This group includes interior designers and collectors who love silverware and are constantly looking for new items.

    Immediate cash payment: Once you accept our valuation you will receive an immediate cash payment for your silverware. This gives you a swift experience from valuation to sale. Other buying services will not be so quick, and our clients find great relief from this benefit of using our buying service.

    Get a Silver Valuation Today

    We have over 20 years of experience and can give you a price for your silverware that will be unachievable at an auction. It’s also a very fast way to get your items sold, and our valuations are expert-led and obligation-free.

    Excellent service. Fast and efficient.
    We met Daniel at our home address, which was a round trip of about 200 miles for him.
    Very happy with his expert advice and valuation for the jewellery.
    No nonsense and all settled very quickly.
    I would have no hesitation in recommending Burlingtons Ltd to anyone looking for a fair deal.

    Although they claim on their website to offer better prices than those achievable at auction, I was offered less than half the scrap value for multiple silverware items. I was told that although a 4 piece silver tea set was in good condition, it had no real saleable value as “people don’t really want to buy silver tea sets”. I was also told that I would have to subtract the weight of 3 bakelite handles, and that this would be 500 grams. When I took the handle off a damaged teapot I was sending for scrap, it weighed 48 grams. So a certain amount of inflation was going on there! When I said that I was not prepared to accept the offer, I was asked “Well what are you going to do with it then?” It felt like I was being pressured to sell at the very low offer. I politely declined. Today, I scrapped a damaged silver teapot and 2 small jugs (970g) for more than half the offer made by Burlington’s, and the tea set (2kg) will go to auction.

    Craig visited my home a short while ago, to value some jewellery and provided some excellent advice. Craig presented a thorough valuation all while, maintaining a no-pressure approach. The valuation was fair, and Craig came across as a genuinely kind and courteous person. I would thoroughly recommend Burlingtons Ltd, to anyone looking for a professional and a trustworthy valuation.
