How do I care for antique velvet?

Keep velvet jewellery boxes away from direct sunlight and damp conditions to prevent the pile from fading or rotting. Dust gently with a soft dry brush rather than liquid cleaners to preserve the historic fabric.

Were these boxes meant for travel?

Many Victorian and Georgian examples functioned as travelling cases or vanity boxes equipped with secure locks and leather outer covers. Larger stationary boxes and bijouterie tables remained on dressing rooms or parlour surfaces rather than moving with the owner.

How do I date a velvet box?

Examine the timber, construction style, and any associated silver hallmarks to narrow down the period of production. Victorian pieces often feature robust burr walnut or mahogany carcasses, while Edwardian items frequently show lighter inlaid mahogany.

What is a bijouterie table?

A bijouterie table is a raised display case with glass panels and a velvet-lined floor intended for showing off collections. These pieces allowed owners to view their trinkets without opening the lid.
