This unusual 1910s trinket or jewellery box takes the form of an elongated coffin. Fashioned from sterling silver with a bright polished finish, the piece has a smooth, plain hinged lid and a matching plain body. Visible details include a subtle thumb lip on the front edge of the closure, clean horizontal mouldings dividing the lid from the lower compartment, and faint surface scratches indicative of gentle handling. Measuring 3.2 cm high, 14 cm wide and 3.8 cm deep, the compact box fits neatly onto a bedside table or dressing table surface. It provides a striking small receptacle for storing rings, small necklaces or everyday pocket items while adding a distinct Victorian Gothic decorative accent to the interior.

FAQs

Novelty silver boxes shaped like coffins or distinct geometric forms gained popularity during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, frequently produced as vanity containers, pill boxes, or memento mori items.

These boxes were forged from sterling silver, consisting of 92.5 per cent pure silver alloyed with copper for structural rigidity, often incorporating hand-fitted hinges and soldered joints.

Authentic sterling silver items feature official assay office hallmarks, maker marks, and purity stamps, alongside light surface oxidisation and natural wear near the hinge or closure.

A small silver box can be positioned on a bedside table, dressing table tray, or styled on a bookshelf to add a subtle metallic accent within a curated display.

Gently buff the surface with a soft cotton cloth and specialist silver polish, avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or prolonged exposure to high humidity.
