Planished silver table boxes are decorative and functional receptacles crafted with a textured, hammered surface finish, historically used on writing desks or dressing tables to store small personal items, stamps, or trinkets.

These items are typically crafted from solid sterling silver, utilizing traditional silversmithing techniques such as hammering, casting, and hand-chasing to create detailed animal figures and textured body finishes.

Authentic pieces bear official British hallmarks stamped directly into the metal, indicating the assay office, standard of silver, makers mark, and date letter, alongside natural period patina and wear.

Place the piece on a coffee table, mantelpiece, or bookshelf to add a reflective metallic accent and a touch of organic narrative to modern minimalist or eclectic schemes.

Maintain silver surfaces using a soft microfibre cloth and a specialist non-abrasive silver polish only when necessary, avoiding harsh chemical dips that strip the desirable historical patina.
