FAQs

Late Victorian silver trinket boxes from the late 19th century frequently featured ornate repousse work, scrolling foliage, floral motifs, and romantic shapes such as hearts.

These boxes were typically die-stamped or hand-chased from sterling silver sheets, featuring crimped borders, fitted lids, and raised relief work created through repousse techniques.

Authentic British sterling silver features full hallmarks stamped into the metal, including a lion passant mark for purity, a town mark, a date letter, and a registered makers mark.

Place a silver trinket box on a dressing table, bedside table, or bathroom tray to store small jewellery while introducing a metallic textural accent to the room.

Clean light tarnish using a specialised silver polishing cloth, avoiding harsh chemical liquid dips that can remove intended dark oxidisation within the recessed details.
