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. 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.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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.

This decorative Victorian sterling silver jewellery or trinket box dates from 1880 by maker Henry William Curry in London. The rectangular box has a hinged domed lid embossed with cherubs, a floral scene and an empty central cartouche, and is supported by four small ball feet. The body is deeply embossed all round with cherubs, scrolls and flowers, complemented by rope-twist mouldings beneath the lid and a polished silver finish. The piece measures 8.9 cm high, 15.9 cm wide and 11.4 cm deep. Today, this trinket box provides a practical storage solution for small valuables and sits elegantly on a bedside table or dressing chest. The silver surfaces display intricate repousse work, while the interior provides a secure place for keepsakes. It integrates well into traditional or eclectic interiors as a decorative tabletop accessory.

FAQs

Victorian silver trinket boxes frequently display elaborate repousse and chased ornamentation, featuring scrollwork, foliage, cherubs, and central cartouches designed for monogram engraving.

These boxes were constructed from sterling silver sheet metal, shaped through hammering or pressing, with decorative relief pushed out from the reverse side using repousse techniques and detailed from the front with chasing tools.

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

Place the box on a bedside table, dressing table, or vanity tray alongside textured ceramic or glass items to add contrast and metallic detail to modern room schemes.

Wipe softly with a non-abrasive cotton cloth and light silver polish, ensuring carved recesses retain their natural oxidised contrast while protecting the surface from excessive wear.
