FAQs

A bougie box is a small, cylindrical container crafted from sterling silver or metal, designed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to hold a long, coiled wax taper used for sealing letters with wax.

Georgian bougie boxes were typically hand-hammered from sterling silver, featuring seamed cylindrical bodies, turned or reeded rims, applied loop handles, and a pierced lid allowing the taper wick to pass through.

Authentic Georgian pieces carry complete sets of English hallmarks, including the monarchs profile duty mark, the makers mark, the sterling lion passant, the town mark, and the date letter.

A silver bougie box makes a refined styling accent when placed on a modern executive desk, a library bookshelf, or alongside traditional desk accessories on a hallway console table.

Maintain sterling silver by dusting regularly with a soft microfiber cloth and applying specialized silver polish sparingly to remove surface tarnish, avoiding abrasive chemicals that can wear down hallmarks.
