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.

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

During the Edwardian era (19011910), desktop accessories such as cigar boxes, desk compacts, and stationary caddies were crafted from hardwoods like oak and mahogany. Sterling silver mounts and corner plates were commonly applied to enhance durability and reflect contemporary decorative trends.

Antique cigar boxes were predominantly constructed from solid oak, mahogany, or cedar due to their structural stability and resistance to warping. Decorative exterior fittings often featured sterling silver, silver plate, or brass mounts secured with tiny steel pins.

Authentic British pieces bear official hallmarks stamped directly onto the silver mounts, which include a town mark, lion passant for sterling quality, makers initials, and a date letter. Construction indicators such as dovetail joinery, hand-fitted hinges, and period lock mechanisms also confirm authenticity.

An antique wooden box can be placed on a study desk, coffee table, or bookshelf to act as a decorative storage container for small items. Combining warm oak timber and metallic silver accents allows it to integrate naturally into both traditional and contemporary interior settings.

Clean the oak surfaces using a dry, soft cloth and apply a light coat of natural beeswax paste to maintain the timber finish. Clean silver mounts carefully using a specialised silver polishing cloth, avoiding harsh liquid cleaners that could bleed into or damage the adjacent wood grain.
