FAQs

Chester was a designated UK assay office that marked silver items from the late 15th century until it closed in 1962, making Chester-hallmarked pieces identifiable markers of regional British silversmithing.

These boxes were predominantly crafted from solid sterling silver, often featuring hand-engraved surface patterns such as engine-turning, scrollwork, or monogramming, sometimes lined with wood or velvet.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarks stamped into the metal, which typically include a makers mark, the sterling standard lion passant, the assay office mark (such as the three partial wheat sheaves and sword for Chester), and a date letter.

An antique silver box adds metallic contrast and historical texture when placed on top of a stack of coffee table books, a dressing table, or a mantelpiece.

Preservation requires gentle cleaning with a specialised non-abrasive silver cloth to remove tarnish while retaining the desirable patina, avoiding harsh liquid dips that can damage historic engraving and hallmarks.
