FAQs

Colonial silver from India and Ceylon during the late 19th and early 20th centuries is distinguished by intricate surface decoration, combining traditional South Asian motifs with Western functional forms. Craftsmen utilized techniques such as repousse and chasing to cover items entirely in dense floral, foliate, and mythical patterns.

These boxes were typically hand-hammered from high-purity or sterling silver. Metalworkers shaped the metal using repoussepushing design details out from the interiorand chasing, which involves working details back into the front surface to create textured relief.

Authentic pieces often exhibit high-relief hand-chasing, fine tool marks on the interior, and a substantial weight relative to their scale. While many colonial silver items lack official European hallmarks, some bear makers marks or purity stamps indicating silver content.

A silver table box functions well on an office desk, coffee table, or dressing table as a decorative catch-all for small items. Placing metallic silver against dark wood surfaces or polished stone creates an effective visual contrast.

Silver should be lightly dusted with a soft, lint-free cloth and occasionally cleaned with a dedicated silver polish to remove oxidisation. Avoid harsh chemical dips or abrasive pads that could erode delicate repousse surface details.
