FAQs

Preservation involves storing the object in a stable environment away from high humidity, handling it with clean cotton gloves, and minimising aggressive polishing to protect the original patination.

This type of decorative object functions effectively as a focal point on a mantlepiece, bookshelf, or side table, adding textural contrast and metallic warmth to modern spaces.

Authenticity is evaluated through physical characteristics such as handmade tool marks, traditional patination, regional artisan motifs, and occasionally local maker marks or purity stamps.

These pieces are typically handcrafted from high-grade solid silver using techniques such as hand-hammering, embossing, and chasing to create deeply textured, pictorial surface designs.

Indian colonial silver caddies were predominantly produced during the 19th and early 20th centuries, often combining traditional local repousse and chasing techniques with British forms intended for the export market.
