They are both clearly hallmarked for Sheffield, 1894 and the maker Henry Aitken.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. 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

Victorian silver bonbon dishes were crafted as specialized tableware designed to serve small sweetmeats, candied fruits, or nuts during formal dining and tea services in the nineteenth century.

These dishes were commonly formed using hand-piercing tools or mechanical fly presses to cut geometric lattice patterns into rolled sterling silver or silver plate, followed by hand-finishing and polishing.

Authentic British pieces bear official hallmark stamps indicating the makers mark, town mark, silver purity mark, date letter, and sovereign duty mark denoting manufacture between 1837 and 1901.

A pair of small silver dishes can be positioned on a sideboard or dressing table as decorative trays for jewelry, keys, or small personal items, adding quiet metallic texture to modern surface displays.

Silver tableware should be gently polished using a specialised silver foam or cloth, washed in warm soapy water, rinsed thoroughly, and stored in non-tarnish cloth bags to prevent heavy oxidisation.
