FAQs

During the late Victorian period, silversmiths created decorative table accessories known as novelty silver, designed in historical or everyday forms such as sedan chairs, miniature furniture, or carriages to house playing cards and gaming counters.

These cases were predominantly constructed from sterling silver, employing techniques such as repousse embossing, chasing, casting, and hand engraving to form intricate architectural and floral designs.

Authentic pieces feature official British hallmarks stamped into the metal, including the lion passant mark for sterling silver, an assay office symbol, a date letter, and a silversmith makers mark.

A small novelty silver piece serves as an elegant accent when positioned on an office desk, styled within a curated bookshelf display, or arranged on a sideboard top alongside framed art.

Maintain the finish by wiping the metal with a soft microfibre cloth and applying a gentle silver polish sparingly, ensuring tarnish removal without stripping deep chased details or patinated recesses.
