A very unusual German Hanau export solid silver table snuff or trinket box. It is hallmarked with German Hanau makers marks and tests as high grade silver. I would date it to c1900.

FAQs

Hanau silver refers to items manufactured in Hanau, Germany, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often created as revival pieces mimicking earlier 17th and 18th-century master silversmith designs.

These pieces typically utilise repousse and chasing techniques, where the metal is hammered and punched from both sides to create high-relief pictorial scenes and ornamentation.

Authentication involves examining the maker marks and pseudo-hallmarks stamped on the base or rim, which often imitate older German, Dutch, or English marks rather than standard official assay marks.

Position the piece as a focal point on a coffee table, bookshelf, or mantelpiece, allowing its metallic texture to contrast against books, wood surfaces, or marble trays.

Preserve the piece by dusting it gently with a soft microfibre cloth and avoiding harsh chemical dips that strip away desirable historical patina and subtle oxidisation.
