FAQs

During the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, button hooks were essential everyday implements used to fasten tightly fitted boots, gloves, and clothing. Silversmiths frequently crafted decorative handles in novelty shapes, such as golf clubs, animals, and sporting items, turning functional dressing utensils into personal collectables.

Most antique button hooks consist of a sterling silver handle attached to a steel shaft and hook. Steel was preferred for the functional working end due to its strength and resistance to bending under strain, while the silver handle provided decorative appeal.

Authentic pieces generally feature British hallmarks stamped on the silver handle, indicating the maker, assay office, silver purity, and date letter. Additionally, genuine examples demonstrate hand-finished joinery where the steel hook meets the handle.

These small decorative items are frequently displayed on vanity trays, inside framed shadow boxes, or arranged within glass cloches on desk surfaces and bookshelves. They also serve as accent pieces within curio cabinets alongside other vintage silver items.

Clean the silver handle gently using a soft microfibre cloth and specialised silver polish, taking care to avoid harsh chemicals. The steel hook should be kept dry and occasionally wiped with a light application of mineral oil to prevent rust and oxidisation.
