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.

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

An antique cased silver dressing set is a collection of vanity and personal grooming tools housed in a custom-fitted velvet or silk-lined box. Popular during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, these sets typically included nail buffers, scissors, brushes, and jars featuring ornate silver handles.

These sets were typically crafted with sterling silver, silver plate, or electroplated nickel silver handles attached to steel blades, boar bristles, or leather buffer pads. The accompanying storage cases were usually constructed from wood wrapped in leatherette, lined with plush velvet and silk.

Authentic silver vanity items will usually feature British hallmarks denoting the maker, purity mark, assay office, and date letter, or maker stamps for silver plate. Genuine pieces display finely chased or repousse metalwork and show age-appropriate wear to the fitted velvet lining and steel components.

Display the open fitted case on a bedroom dressing table, bathroom vanity, or mirrored console table to highlight the metallic contrast against modern decor. Stagings often keep the case prop open to showcase the intricate repousse patterns and rich velvet interior.

Gently polish the silver elements with a soft, non-abrasive silver cloth, avoiding immersion in liquid polishes that can seep into tool handles or ruin steel blades. Keep the velvet box stored in a dry environment to prevent mould and minimise oxidisation on silver surfaces.
