Trinity makes pawn loans against fine and antique silver — hallmarked pieces, canteens and services, and maker and period holloware — from £500 with no maximum. Valued for the maker and craftsmanship, not the melt, insured door to door, held securely in the City of London, and returned to you exactly as you left it when you repay.
No credit checks. Nothing on your credit file. Offer the same day.
What is your silver worth as a loan?
Tell us what you have, the hallmarks and maker if you know them, and send a few photos. A specialist reviews the piece against the current market — valuing the craftsmanship and maker, not just the metal — and comes back with an indicative offer the same day, at no cost and with no obligation.

What we lend against
The silver we lend against
We lend against silver worth keeping — hallmarked antique and maker pieces valued for far more than their weight. Boxes, canteens and paperwork help, but they’re not essential.
Canteens & flatware
Complete and part services by the established makers, valued as a set, not weighed as scrap.
Maker & designer silver
Garrard, Mappin & Webb, Georg Jensen and other names that carry a premium beyond the metal.
Fine holloware
Tea and coffee services, candlesticks, bowls and figurative pieces, assessed on their own merit.
How much you can borrow
Valued for the maker, not the melt
Your silver is valued by a specialist — the hallmarks, the maker, the period and the craftsmanship — against the current market for comparable pieces, with silver content as one factor and never the whole story. A fine antique canteen is worth far more than its weight, and that’s how we value it. That means an accurate valuation and a competitive loan, at rates lower than the typical high-street pawnbroker. Loans start at £500, with no upper limit.

How it works
Four steps. Your silver back at the end.
Step 01
Tell us about your silver
Send the hallmarks, maker and a few photos. A specialist values it and sends an indicative offer the same day.
Step 02
Send it to us, insured
We arrange free, fully insured delivery, or you can bring it to our City of London office by appointment. It’s insured from the moment it leaves your hands.
Step 03
Accept the offer and get paid
Once we’ve examined the piece in person we confirm the valuation. Accept, and the money is with you within 24 hours.
Step 04
Repay, and it’s back with you
Loans run for six months and can be extended. Repay early and you pay less, with no penalty. Your silver is returned exactly as you left it.

How we value silver
Valued by specialists, for more than the metal
Every piece is assessed by a specialist — the hallmarks and assay marks, the maker, the period and the craftsmanship — then valued against current market prices for comparable pieces. We don’t weigh your family silver and quote you the melt. Our specialists come from the auction houses and the trade.
Hallmarks read and dated
Assay marks identified rather than ignored.
Maker and period valued
The premium beyond the metal counts.
Completeness factored in
Full canteens and matched services valued as a set.
Nothing sight-unseen
You see the valuation before you commit to anything.
Why Trinity rather than the high street
A pawnbroker for silver you intend to keep.
Cash-for-silver and scrap merchants buy your silver by the gram and melt it. We don’t. A pawn loan is a loan: you keep ownership, we keep it safe, and you take it back when you repay. That difference is the whole business — and we value the piece, not the metal.
