Silver boxes have been collected and admired for hundreds of years, although English sterling silver examples are rare from before the start of the 18th Century, with very few examples known prior to 1700. During the Victorian period novelty forms were created, and these, along with early pieces, and boxes made by designer silversmiths during the 20th Century, are most sought after by collectors.
