We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

An Edwardian silver-cased prayer and hymn book duo dating from 1910 displays a black leather binding with gilt lettering on the spine, a scalloped silver front panel decorated with embossed cherub heads and foliate scrolling, and clear hallmarks. The twin books slide into a fitted black holder protected by the ornate sterling silver sleeve. The visible details include natural surface wear on the leather, faint dark patination within the silver relief recesses, and a slight bend on one corner. The piece measures 10 cm wide, 7 cm high, and 4 cm deep. This devotional object suits placement on a bedside table in a traditional interior as a decorative small collectible or a personal desk accessory. The compact double-book sleeve functions as a charming display item that brings period character to a tabletop or display shelf.

FAQs

During the Edwardian period, silver-fronted or encased prayer and hymn book sets were produced as devotional gifts, frequently featuring embossed decorative motifs such as cherub heads and foliate scrolls.

These items typically consist of sterling silver covers or frames mounted onto morocco leather bindings, housing miniature printed paper volumes of church service texts.

Authentic pieces carry official British hallmarks stamped onto the silver, including a lion passant for sterling purity, an assay town mark, a date letter, and a makers mark.

Compact silver objects can be styled on a nightstand, displayed within a glass vitrine, or placed atop a stack of books on a shelf to add texture and historical detail.

Clean the silver surfaces gently using a soft silver polishing cloth, avoiding contact with the leather, and store the item in a dry location away from direct sunlight.
