19th century
For Sale by Puckerings
Description

A magnificent piece of heavy crystal has been transformed with the intricate hand-cut decoration creating a really tactile box, deeply cut with a crisp finish.

The box is a very pale pink in colour and has a brass collar and hinge with a lock, alas no key. The collar would have originally been silver plated, rubbed now to create an attractive two-tone finish.

Dating to the late Victorian era, the box remains in excellent condition with a couple of tiny rough spots to high points commensurate with age. 4 5/8" in diameter x 4 1/8" tall.

The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

During the late nineteenth century, cut crystal boxes were produced as luxury dressing table accessories designed to hold trinkets, cosmetics, or jewellery. These containers featured intricate wheel-cut geometric patterns and were frequently finished with fitted metal mounts.

Antique crystal caskets were manufactured from high-lead glass to achieve light refraction and weight. The glass bodies were hand-cut with diamond or starburst motifs and secured with nickel silver, brass, or sterling silver mounts and escutcheons.

Authentic pieces exhibit sharp, hand-cut facet edges, noticeable weight due to lead content, and subtle surface wear on the base. Metal mounts often show period-appropriate construction, solder marks, or hallmarks along the inner rim.

An antique crystal box serves as an accent piece on a bedroom dressing table, bathroom counter, or entrance console. It offers functional storage for rings or small items while reflecting light across polished surfaces.

Washing by hand in lukewarm water with mild liquid detergent is recommended, avoiding prolonged submersion of non-precious metal rims. Microfibre cloths should be used to dry the crystal and prevent water spots or oxidisation on metal fittings.
