The earliest examples of enamel work can be found on embellished gold artifacts from 15th Century BC, which gives us an idea of how long humans have been adding decoration to everyday items, as well as how long enamel has been a popular choice for embellishment.

The small enamel box represents one of the most exquisite and delicate creations of Georgian craftsmanship in England. During the eighteenth century, these boxes were primarily designed to hold snuff or beauty patches, reflecting both the fashion and social customs of the time. Enamel boxes quickly became a symbol of sophistication and refinement among the English elite, who valued them not only for their practicality but also for their intricate designs and vibrant colours.
An enamel box is a decorative container often made from metal, such as copper or silver, that is coated with enamel—a type of glassy substance that is fused onto the surface by high heat. Enamel boxes are prized for their vibrant colours, intricate designs, and smooth, glossy finish.
Enamel boxes have been used historically for a variety of purposes, including storing snuff, pills, jewellery, or cosmetics. Today, they are often collected for their artistic value and can be used as decorative pieces or to store small items.
Our collection features a stunning variety of enamel boxes, encompassing both antique and vintage items. Each product description provides comprehensive details regarding the box's age and provenance.
To ensure the longevity of your enamel box, take care to avoid dropping it and keep it away from extreme temperature fluctuations, which can result in cracks or chips. For cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth and steer clear of abrasive cleaners or chemicals that might damage the enamel surface.
