FAQs

Edwardian novelty silver items, popular in the early 20th century, were crafted in naturalistic forms such as animals, figures, or everyday objects. These small sterling silver pieces served both decorative and functional purposes, including storing pills, matches, or small trinkets.

Authentic sterling silver pill boxes are constructed from an alloy containing 92.5 percent pure silver combined with copper for strength. They were often cast or chased by silversmiths to create detailed textured surfaces and fitted with secure hinged lids.

Authentic British sterling silver pieces feature official hallmarks stamped into the metal, including a lion passant mark for silver purity, an assay office symbol, a makers mark, and a specific date letter corresponding to the year 1901.

Small silver collectables like pill boxes work well when displayed on a tray on a bedside table, dressing table, or curated bookshelf. Placing them alongside ceramics or natural textiles provides a subtle metallic accent and textural contrast.

Clean sterling silver using a soft, lint-free cloth and a specialised silver polish formulated to remove tarnish without scratching the metal. Avoid abrasive cleaners and store pieces in a dry environment to prevent rapid oxidisation.
