The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

Small silver boxes were originally produced in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to house breath mints, snuff, or medicinal pills. By the Victorian period, advances in silver embossing allowed craftsmen to produce highly detailed vanity items featuring figurative reliefs, foliage, and classical scenes.

These boxes were typically made from sterling or continental silver using repousse and chasing techniques. Craftsmen hammered the metal from the reverse side to create raised figures, such as cherubs, before detailing the surface with chisels.

Authentic pieces generally display official silver hallmarks indicating the maker, purity mark, assay office, and date letter. Additionally, genuine period repousse work shows characteristic crispness in detailed areas along with historic wear around hinges and edges.

A small decorative silver box functions well as an accent piece when displayed atop a stack of books, inside a glass cloche, or positioned on a bedside table alongside contemporary accessories.

Clean silver boxes using a gentle silver polishing cloth to remove surface tarnish without wearing down intricate raised relief work. Avoid submerging items with delicate hinges in water, and store them in low-humidity environments.
