FAQs

Snuff boxes gained immense popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries as the consumption of powdered tobacco became a fashionable social ritual among the upper classes, leading to highly ornate craftsmanship in materials like silver.

These pieces were typically crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as casting, engine-turning, hand-engraving, and chasing to create detailed decorative borders and inscriptions.

Authenticity is determined by examining hallmarks stamped on the metal, which indicate the assay office, date letter, makers mark, and standard of silver, alongside period-appropriate engraving styles.

Such small decorative items can be displayed on a mantelpiece, inside a glass-fronted cabinet, or placed thoughtfully upon a stack of books on a coffee table as a focal point.

Silver should be kept away from high humidity and sulphur sources, and cleaned infrequently with a soft microfibre cloth designed for silver to preserve the natural patina without damaging fine engravings.
