FAQs

Crystal Palace card cases were manufactured to commemorate the Great Exhibition of 1851 held in London, featuring detailed engravings of Joseph Paxtons iconic exhibition building.

These pieces were typically crafted from sterling silver using techniques such as engine-turning, repousse, and fine hand-engraving to create intricate surface patterns.

Authenticity is verified by checking for British hallmarks, including the makers mark, standard mark, assay office mark, and date letter corresponding to the mid-19th century.

Antique silver accessories add a layer of historic character when displayed in glass-fronted cabinets, on coffee table trays, or styled on a mantlepiece.

Antique silver should be cleaned sparingly using a non-abrasive specialist silver cloth to preserve the patina, avoiding harsh liquid dips that can damage intricate engravings.
