Episode Details

A rare, silver chocolate box from King Edward VII’s 1902 coronation—designed to hold just one Rowntree’s bar—is set to auction for up to £1,000. Only the second of its kind seen in a century, these luxury boxes were made for royalty and family insiders. Though stamped with the wrong date (June 26, 1902—the actual coronation was delayed to August 9 due to illness), it remains in excellent condition with its original leather case. Previously sold in 2007, another similar box once belonged to a Rowntree family member who gifted it to their coachman—a testament to how history’s smallest indulgences can become priceless relics.
