FAQs

Counter boxes during the Georgian period were crafted to hold gaming tokens or counters used for card games and pastimes popular among the aristocracy and gentry.

These pieces were typically made from sterling silver, often featuring detailed hand-engraving, hallmarks, and accompanying mother-of-pearl or bone carved counters.

Authenticity is verified by checking for clear silversmith makers marks, assay office symbols, and date letters stamped onto the silver surface.

Small antique silver items function well as decorative objects displayed on a mantelpiece, desk surface, or inside a glass-fronted cabinet to add historical texture.

Antique silver should be kept dry, handled with clean hands or cotton gloves to avoid oils, and polished sparingly using specialized silver cloths rather than harsh chemical dips.
