This cylindrical trinket box belongs to the Victorian period, originating from London in 1900 by maker William Comyns. Fabricated from solid sterling silver with a reflective silver colour throughout, the piece displays a polished plain body and a pull-off lid. The lid carries an intricate repousse relief scene showing a seated man playing bagpipes alongside two women in a countryside landscape, all encircled by decorative scrollwork and a visible hallmark at the top rim. The interior holds a gilt finish. Measuring 2.5 cm high, 7.6 cm wide, and 7.6 cm deep, the box sits comfortably on a bedside table to store small items like rings and cufflinks. It integrates well into traditional or eclectic dressing rooms as a practical desk accessory.

FAQs

A Victorian sterling silver trinket box is a small decorative container produced during the reign of Queen Victoria, designed to hold small items of jewellery, pills, or dressing table accessories.

These boxes were typically crafted from sterling silver containing 92.5 percent silver, using techniques such as repousse relief, chasing, and casting to create detailed motifs on the lid and body.

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

A silver trinket box can be placed on a bedside table, dressing table, or stacked atop books on a sideboard to add textural contrast and historical interest.

Silver should be dusted regularly with a soft cloth and cleaned with a specialised silver polishing cloth to remove tarnish without scratching the metal surface.
