The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

During the nineteenth century, table snuff boxes served as communal containers placed in social settings such as dining rooms or private clubs. Larger than pocket snuff boxes, these silver vessels were frequently presented as commemorative gifts, featuring ornate scrollwork and engraved inscriptions reflecting mid-to-late Victorian metalwork traditions.

Authentic nineteenth-century table boxes were cast or raised from sterling silver, hallmarked to guarantee metal purity. Decoration was achieved through hand-engraving, chasing, and engine turning, secured with tightly fitted flush hinges to prevent air exposure.

Authentic British pieces bear a complete set of hallmarks, typically stamped on the base and inside the lid. These include the monarchs profile, a purity mark such as the lion passant for sterling silver, an assay office symbol, a date letter, and a makers mark.

Small antique silver containers function well as decorative objects on an office desk, mantelpiece, or coffee table tray. They can be used to hold small everyday items like paperclips or jewellery while adding metallic texture to layered interiors.

Silver should be dusted regularly with a soft microfiber cloth and polished occasionally using a specialised silver cleaner to remove tarnish. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners and store pieces in low-humidity environments to minimise oxidisation.
