An exceptional, fine and impressive antique George III sterling silver biscuit box; an addition to the Georgian silverware collection.

This exceptional, fine and impressive antique George III sterling silver biscuit box has an oval shaped form.

The body of the antique silver biscuit box is embellished with chased fluted decoration to the lower portion.

The flared upper rim is encompassed with an applied gadroon decoration accented with leaf decoration.

This antique box retains the original hallmarked push fit cover ornamented with further fluted decoration and surmounted with the original silver topped, painted finial.

The box surmounts the original hallmarked base, with a raised well to the centre and encompassed with further applied decoration, reflecting that of the box.

By virtue of its size this versatile Georgian biscuit box could be used for a multitude of functions.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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

Introduced during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, a silver biscuit box was designed to keep baked goods fresh and dry during tea or meal service in aristocratic households.

These pieces were hand-crafted from sterling silver featuring raised fluting, hand-chased ornamentation, cast gadrooned borders, and often fitted with a turned wooden or ebonised finial to insulate the lid handle.

Authentic British silver items of this period feature a complete set of hallmarks stamped on the body and lid, including the monarchs head duty mark, the lion passant for sterling purity, the town mark, and the specific date letter for 1814.

Place the vessel on a dining table centre, sideboard top, or drink trolley as a decorative focal point, or use it to store small treasures on a desk or console.

Dust regularly with a soft cotton cloth and polish periodically using a non-abrasive silver cream to remove tarnish while preserving the natural patina and avoiding wear on stamped hallmarks.
