A Victorian sterling silver table snuff box crafted in Birmingham in 1862 by silversmith Frederick Mason. This heavy gauge silver object takes a serpentine oblong shape with a scalloped border, displaying detailed foliate engraving across the lid alongside an engine-turned pattern covering the sides and base. A central smooth cartouche panel adorns the top surface within an oval bracketed outline. The item measures 1.8 cm high, 9.5 cm wide, and 4 cm deep. Today, this piece serves as a decorative accessory for a gentleman's library or office desk, offering a tactile container for small personal items or a traditional display piece. Placed upon a study table or desktop, the reflective silver finish and intricate surface engraving add a touch of nineteenth-century craftsmanship to a modern interior scheme.

FAQs

Table snuff boxes were larger containers designed to sit on a desk or dining table to store ground tobacco for communal access during social gatherings.

Victorian silver boxes were typically crafted from sterling silver, which consists of 92.5 percent pure silver alloyed with copper for added durability.

Authentic pieces feature standard British assay marks including the lion passant for sterling silver purity, an anchor symbol representing the Birmingham assay office, and a date letter.

An antique silver box can be styled on an office desk, console table, or sideboard as a functional storage container for small everyday items.

Clean silver surfaces gently using a soft cotton cloth and specialized non-abrasive silver polish, taking care to avoid harsh chemicals that strip natural oxidisation from engraved details.
