The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

During the late nineteenth century, silver desktop humidors and cigar companions became popular accessories in private clubs and gentlemans libraries. Designed to keep cigars in optimal condition, these containers frequently incorporated central lighter mechanisms and cutters into a single functional piece of silverware.

These items were predominantly constructed from sterling silver, hallmarked by city assay offices such as London or Birmingham. The interiors were often lined with cedar wood or fitted with silver dividers to assist with humidity control and organisation.

Authentic pieces display clear British hallmark stamps, including the lion passant for sterling silver, a town mark, a date letter, and a makers mark. Look for crisp silversmithing details, heavy gauge metal, and correct period construction along hinges and fittings.

An antique silver box functions well as a decorative focal point on an executive office desk, a library bookcase, or a dining room sideboard. The reflective metallic finish provides visual contrast when positioned alongside dark polished timber or leather accessories.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and clean periodically using a non-abrasive silver foam or polish applied with a soft sponge. Avoid submerging items with wooden linings or internal mechanisms in water to prevent moisture damage and tarnish accumulation.
