One of the volunteers at work
Exeter’s amazing collection of silver held at the city’s historic Guildhall has been given a much-needed makeover.
Members of the Exeter Heritage Volunteers group spent a morning polishing a wide range of historic items.
The volunteers, who have a passion for restoring and cleaning historic artefacts, were given the challenge of polishing some of the city’s precious silverware and returning it to its former glory.
They were quick to rise to the challenge and managed to transform a large range of discoloured silverware using a special chemical restoring fluid.
Among the items cleaned up was a 14-inch silver centrepiece embossed with panels of the Guildhall. It was presented by Alderman Robert People and made in Sheffield 1897.
