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

Late Victorian silver jewellery boxes from the end of the 19th century frequently featured decorative shapes such as hearts or shells, combined with ornate embossing and interior gilding to prevent tarnishing.

These small boxes were constructed from hallmarked sterling silver, often featuring gilt-silver (vermeil) interior lids to resist oxidation, alongside silk or velvet linings designed to hold rings securely.

Authentic British pieces carry official assay office hallmarks, including the sterling silver lion passant mark, a city assay mark such as the Birmingham anchor, a makers mark, and a date letter denoting the precise year of manufacture.

Place the open box on a marble tray on a bedside table, dressing table, or bathroom vanity shelf to display small fine jewellery pieces while adding a vintage metallic accent.

Gently wipe the exterior sterling silver with a soft silver-polishing cloth, taking care not to rub the internal gilding or wet the velvet fabric lining, as moisture can degrade antique adhesives.
