This silver-plated trinket or cigarette box dates from the Art Deco period of circa 1930 and follows a gentleman's library design style. The object presents a rectangular body with a polished silver finish, a hinged lid, and a sculpted figural greyhound topper mounted on a small base. The interior holds a cedar wood lining, while the exterior remains plain without inscriptions, displaying re-silver plated surfaces. Practical dimensions measure 5 cm high by 10.2 cm wide and 8.9 cm deep. Positioned on an office desk or a study table, the container stores small items such as trinkets, small accessories, or cigarettes. The piece suits traditional or classic interior settings that benefit from functional silver-plated table accessories. Maintenance involves standard care for silver-plated items to preserve the highly reflective metallic appearance.

FAQs

A figural silver-plated box is a decorative container featuring a sculpted three-dimensional figure, such as an animal, on its lid or structure. Popular from the late 19th through the mid-20th century, these items were commonly used as desk accessories, cigarette boxes, or jewellery keepsakes.

These boxes were typically constructed from a base metal, such as brass or nickel alloy, formed into shape and coated with a thin layer of pure silver via electroplating. Decorative finials or figurines were cast separately and mounted or soldered onto the lid.

Authentic silver-plated pieces often feature electroplate makers stamps or hallmarks stamped into the base or interior rim. Inspecting areas of friction or wear for base metal showing through can also indicate historical plating and genuine age.

Position the box atop stacked books on a coffee table, beside a table lamp on an office desk, or on a dressing table. Metallic accents add texture and reflective interest to modern wood, stone, or leather surfaces.

Maintain silver plate by dusting regularly with a clean microfibre cloth. When tarnish develops, apply a mild silver polish specifically formulated for electroplated silver using a soft cotton pad, avoiding harsh abrasives that could wear away the thin silver layer.
