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.

FAQs

Bonbon baskets are small decorative silver vessels designed during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to serve sweets, nuts, or candied fruits at formal dining tables.

These items were typically crafted using sterling silver or silver plate, utilizing techniques such as hand-piercing, casting for decorative feet and rims, and repousse or chasing work.

Authenticity can be verified by checking for official hallmarks indicating silver purity, city marks, date letters, and maker signatures, along with natural signs of wear around the base.

A pair of silver baskets can be placed symmetrically on a sideboard, styled as desk organisers, or used as a decorative element on a dining table.

Care involves regular gentle dusting, occasional polishing with a soft cloth and specialised silver polish, and avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials.
