FAQs

During the late Victorian period, silver trinket and vanity boxes became popular items on dressing tables. Craftsmanship flourished using mechanical pressing alongside traditional hand-chasing and repousse techniques to create ornate floral and scrollwork designs.

These boxes were constructed from sterling silver (925 purity) using raised relief techniques such as repousse, where metal is hammered from the reverse side to create patterns, finished with detailed surface chasing and soldered hinges.

Authentic British silver from 1892 carries a series of stamped hallmarks: the lion passant for sterling silver purity, an assay office symbol (such as a leopards head for London or anchor for Birmingham), a date letter, and a makers mark.

A small silver box works well as a decorative accent on a bedside table, desk, or bathroom vanity tray, offering a functional vessel for rings, cufflinks, or paperclips while adding textural interest.

Silver should be cleaned periodically using a soft, lint-free cloth and a specialized silver polish or foam. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that can scratch the surface, and store in low-humidity environments to minimize oxidisation.
