FAQs

During the Victorian era, correspondence required sealing wax to secure letters and documents, leading to the creation of elaborate holders and seals, often featuring popular cultural motifs like Mr Punch.

These writing accessories were typically crafted from sterling silver, brass, or ivory, frequently housed in fitted leather presentation cases lined with silk or velvet.

Authenticity is verified by examining hallmarks for the lion passant, city mark, and date letter corresponding to the 19th century, alongside traditional hand-chased ornamentation and makers marks.

Displaying small collectables on a bookshelf, desk top, or within a glass-fronted cabinet adds historical character and sophisticated detail to a study or living space.

Silver should be cleaned sparingly with a non-abrasive specialist cloth to preserve the natural patina, and kept away from direct sunlight and high humidity to protect the vintage fitted case.
