Biscuit Boxes

Silver Biscuit Boxes are practical metal containers to keep biscuits and cookies fresh. In the late 19th and early 20th century they were produced in many attractive designs such as the novelty book or military drum and/or as part of an extensive matching tea and coffee service.
Folding Biscuit Boxes are popularly used nowadays to serve muffins and scones. Usually shell shaped, they can have either two or three fold-out sections. Traditionally these boxes were kept by the fire to warm the biscuits. They usually have pretty pierced grills to keep the biscuits in place which can be lifted to access the contents.
