FAQs

Georgian snuff boxes were widely used during the 18th and early 19th centuries by both men and women of high social standing to hold powdered tobacco, becoming miniature canvases for intricate metalwork and personal expression.

These boxes were typically crafted from solid sterling silver using techniques such as casting, engine-turning, repousse, and hand-engraving, often featuring gilded interiors known as wash gilding.

Authenticity is verified through clear hallmarks stamped on the metal, which typically include a makers mark, standard mark for sterling silver, a duty mark indicating taxation, and a date letter corresponding to the assay office records.

An antique silver box can be displayed as a curated object of interest on a stack of books, a mantelpiece, or a desk, adding a touch of historical texture to contemporary spaces.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly with a non-abrasive, high-quality silver polish and a soft cloth to preserve the patina and details of the engraving, while avoiding harsh chemical dips.
