FAQs

Originally designed to hold finely ground tobacco for inhaling, silver snuff boxes emerged in the seventeenth century as portable personal accessories that signalled social standing and refined craftsmanship.

These boxes are crafted from sterling silver (925 purity) and frequently feature engine-turned geometric decoration applied by machine-guided engraving tools, often combined with a gilded interior to protect against oxidisation.

Authentic Chester items bear distinct official hallmarks stamped into the metal, including the town mark of three sheaves and a sword, the lion passant for sterling silver, a specific date letter for 1919, and the makers mark.

Small silver boxes can be styled on an office desk, sideboard tray, or bedside table alongside books and stationary, serving as decorative accents or practical storage for small items.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and polish sparingly using a dedicated silver polishing cloth, avoiding liquid dips or abrasive metal polishes that can remove gilding or wear down engine-turned engraving.
