FAQs

Button hooks were essential dressing accessories during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, used to fasten tight-fitting boots, shoes, and gloves before the widespread use of zippers and elastic.

While utilitarian hooks were made from steel or iron, high-end dressing accessories crafted by silversmiths featured sterling silver handles often embellished with gemstones, mother-of-pearl, or intricate chased designs.

Authentic pieces typically feature British silver hallmarks indicating the assay office, date letter, and makers mark, alongside natural signs of age-related tarnish and wear on the steel hook end.

These small items can be displayed on a vanity tray, within a glass-topped coffee table vitrine, or mounted in a shadow box as part of a curated collection of antique curiosities.

Clean sterling silver gently with a specialist microfibre polishing cloth, avoiding abrasive dips that can damage softer gemstones like citrine or compromise the surrounding metal setting.
