FAQs

Silver gilt, also known as vermeil, is sterling silver that has been coated with a thin layer of gold. This technique has been practiced for centuries to combine the lustre of gold with the structural integrity of silver, frequently used in decorative objects and tableware during the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries.

These boxes are typically constructed from sterling silver or silver gilt, featuring vitreous enamel applied to the surface. Techniques such as guilloche, where intricate geometric patterns are machined into the metal beneath translucent enamel, were widely employed by master craftsmen.

Authentic pieces usually bear hallmarks indicating the metal purity, makers mark, and assay office. The enamel should show signs of age such as micro-crazing under magnification, and the hand-finished fitting of the lid to the base indicates quality craftsmanship distinct from modern mass-produced items.

Small decorative objects like pill boxes add a layer of curated detail to a room. Place them on a bedside table, vanity tray, or coffee table books to introduce a subtle touch of metallic warmth and historical interest without cluttering the surface.

Clean silver gilt gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth to avoid abrading the thin gold layer. Avoid using harsh chemical dips or abrasive polishes, as these can strip the gilt and damage delicate enamel surfaces.
