FAQs

Collapsible travel cups gained popularity during the 19th and early 20th centuries as portable drinking vessels for travellers, hunters, and gentlemen on the move.

They were typically fashioned from sterling silver, plate silver, or base metals, often featuring nested telescopic rings designed to slide smoothly into a compact case.

Authenticity is generally determined by examining hallmarks, maker marks, the precision of the telescopic rings, and the ageing patination of the metal.

Placed on a desk, bookshelf, or mantelpiece, such small metallic objects add a touch of historical curiosity and reflective detail to contemporary spaces.

Silver items should be gently cleaned using a specialised non-abrasive polish only when necessary, and stored in dry conditions to prevent excessive tarnish.
