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.

An Edwardian dressing table box combines a domed silver cover with a round green glass base, manufactured by John Grinsell & Sons in Birmingham in 1901. The polished metal lid features stamped hallmarks along the rim, while the transparent body displays a detailed star-cut pattern radiating outwards across the bottom. Measuring 4 cm high, 5.5 cm wide and 5.5 cm deep, the compact vessel sits level on a flat surface. Such a small container is suitable for holding small personal items like rings or cuff-links on a bedroom vanity, dresser, or side table. The vibrant colour and polished metal components bring a touch of period craftsmanship to daily routines in a modern bedroom or dressing area.

FAQs

Originally designed during the 19th and early 20th centuries, these jars formed essential components of elaborate dressing table sets used for holding powders, creams, and trinkets.

These vessels typically feature a heavy moulded or hand-cut glass body paired with a fitted sterling silver, silver plate, or nickel lid stamped with hallmarks.

Authentication involves examining the silver lid for official maker marks and assay hallmarks, along with inspecting the glass base for period manufacturing features such as starburst cuts or hand-finishing marks.

Place the jar on a bedside table, dressing vanity, or bathroom counter to store small jewellery pieces while adding a historical accent to contemporary decor.

Wash the glass gently with warm soapy water avoiding harsh detergents, and clean the silver lid using a soft silver polishing cloth to remove oxidisation without damaging stamped marks.
