What to Look For

Check the box’s hallmarks carefully, especially the maker’s mark, assay office and date letter, and compare them with the seller’s description. A clear photograph of the marks is essential where the listing does not show them prominently. Examine the repouss é work for softened detail, dents, splits or signs of excessive polishing. Confirm that the hinge, clasp and lid fit properly, and ask whether the interior is complete, gilded or repaired. For Dutch examples, check which marks are present and whether their interpretation is documented. Record the closed dimensions and weight, allowing for lining or fittings, and review photographs for solder, replaced parts and surface damage before arranging insured delivery.

Buying Tips

When comparing silver repoussé snuff boxes, check whether each listing describes the piece as solid silver, sterling, silver gilt or simply silver-coloured, and look for clear photographs of hallmarks, hinges, clasps and interiors. Examine the relief for wear, dents, splits, solder or replaced parts, and confirm dimensions and weight where provided. Ask about repairs, lining and whether the lid closes securely. Before buying, review postage, insurance, import charges if applicable, and the seller’s returns policy.
