Sterling silver holds intrinsic value as a precious metal, but antique silver pieces can be even more valuable than their silver content would indicate.
This added value depends on the craftsmanship, maker and desirability of the piece offered for sale, along with the venue where an item is sold. With more and more antique silver pieces being destroyed for their scrap value, the price of pieces that survive will continue to rise.
