Silver Services in Geneva
One silver object can raise several different questions. Do you want to sell it, buy a comparable piece, understand its value, read its marks or preserve its history? MINERVE, operated by MNRV Sàrl in Geneva, offers a clear route for each question, beginning with photographs and continuing by appointment when examination is needed.
Antique silver, with the object at the centre
Our work concerns flatware services, trays, bowls, cups, candlesticks, candelabra, tea and coffee services and silver-mounted objects. The first question is what survives: maker’s marks, construction, original components, repairs and documents. Collectable value and precious-metal content are considered separately.
Explore the silver departmentA practical first step
An initial photographic assessment is free. Research dossiers and formal written valuations are scoped and quoted in advance. You decide whether to proceed after the first discussion.
- Send an overall view, the underside and clear close-ups of every mark.
- Add dimensions, known weight, condition issues and any invoices or family documents.
- Tell us whether your aim is a sale, purchase, identification, inheritance record or insurance valuation.
Must I sell after asking for advice?
No. Identification, valuation and documentation can be requested while you keep the object. A purchase offer or a sales mandate is a separate decision.
Can I start from outside Geneva?
Yes. Send photographs and documents first. If physical examination is needed, an appointment or transport arrangements are agreed before the object moves.
