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. By choosing Burlingtons, you gain access to our extensive network of private buyers, dealers, collectors, and interior designers, ensuring we find the ideal home for your silverware. 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.

Get in Touch

Contact online or over the phone, telling us the important details and scheduling a free, in-person valuation in your own home (UK only).

In Person Valuation

Our specialist visits to assess the valuables and makes a no-obligation offer based on market value and the condition of the item itself.

Instant Payment

You accept the offer and receive an instant payment for your watch, either through a BACS transfer or another method of your choosing.

Silver Tea Set

You will receive a fair valuation that makes use of our extensive brand and market knowledge, as well as our relationships with dealers and collectors. Not only that, but we are also able to provide an immediate cash payment for old or new sterling silver or silver items.

    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.

    Contact us to make an appointment and sell your old silver today. Our experts will be ready and waiting to help you sort and sell your silverware, based on a fair and market-competitive price.

    I contacted Daniel by e-mail yesterday and he came out today to look at Mum's jewellery, that she no longer wanted to wear. She had been unable to sell these as jewellery and was only being offered gold scrap value. He gave what I felt was a fair scrap offer for the gold items and the money was transferred immediately into her account. Happy to recommend.

I sent photos of the silver cutlery which I wanted to sell , got an offer price which I thought was fair and sent the items by post . Next day delivery and got paid on the day and the cost of postage was covered . Very happy with the service that they offered

    Fantastic Experience Selling Jewelry to Craig at Burlingtons Ltd. I recently sold a few pieces of jewelry to Burlingtons Ltd, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire process. From start to finish, Craig was professional, courteous, and made me feel completely at ease. He took the time to carefully assess each piece and I never felt rushed or pressured into making a decision. His transparency and honesty were truly appreciated. Craig gave me a fair and competitive offer, which made the transaction feel smooth and trustworthy. If you’re looking to sell your jewelry, I highly recommend Craig at Burlingtons Ltd. He is knowledgeable, reliable, and makes the experience stress-free. I’ll definitely be returning in the future.

    I recently sold three diamond rings to Craig at Burlingtons Jeweller, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Initially, I was quite apprehensive about sending valuable items through the post, but Craig quickly put my mind at ease. Throughout the entire process, he stayed in touch every step of the way via WhatsApp, providing clear updates and reassurance. True to his word, he processed the payment **the very next day**,His efficiency and professionalism made the transaction smooth and stress-free.
