This is a Victorian English hallmarked sterling silver pierced top box made in London in 1899 by silversmith Samuel Jacob. The silver object displays an intricate lid with pierced scrollwork, a repousse central figure in historic dress, a C-scroll border, and a hinged lid. Visible elements include high-relief embossing on the central figural panel, openwork fretwork framing the design, and curved repousse scroll detailing along the shaped outer edges. The box measures 3 cm high, 7 cm wide, and 7 cm deep, weighing 88 grams. Place this silver trinket box on a bedside table to hold small daily accessories such as rings, earrings, or cuff links. The piece functions well on a dressing table, vanity, or mantelpiece as a decorative receptacle for small keepsakes. The sterling silver construction provides a reflective metallic surface that integrates into traditional and period interior schemes.

FAQs

Late Victorian silver boxes frequently feature Rococo revival influences, intricate pierced scrollwork, and detailed figurative scenes rendered in relief.

Silversmiths constructed these boxes using hand-piercing techniques alongside repousse and chasing to raise detailed pictorial and foliate designs from sterling silver sheet metal.

Authentic British silver items carry standard hallmark stamps, including the lion passant indicating sterling purity, a specific assay office mark, an annual date letter, and a registered makers mark.

A decorative silver trinket box serves as an accent on a vanity table, bedside table, or placed alongside books on a coffee table display.

Clean gently using a soft cloth and non-abrasive silver polish, employing a soft-bristled brush to clear residue from openwork detail without removing natural oxidisation from recessed areas.
