Lot 395

Lot Description

A late Victorian silver mounted jewellery box modelled as a single draw commode, the serpentine oblong form with a removable pull out silver mounted wooden draw with material lined interior and drop ring handle, the top with a scene of two men talking to a young lady on a swing outdoors within a floral scroll surround, leading to a further scroll rim border, the whole raised upon four foliate mounted cabriole legs. Hallmarked William Comyns & Sons, London 1900. Maximum height measuring 3 7/8 inches (9.9 cm).

Postage: Postable

Weight: No

Total lot weight: No

In overall fair condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use. The material lining to the wooden base beneath has significant losses and has lifted, requires attention. The pull out draw slightly catches when put back in but fits in well and aligns with the front nicely, the drop ring handle appears slightly mis-shaped. The box slightly wobbles on its feet as the front two feet are bent/compressed in comparison to the others. Minor loss of definition to the decoration. Would benefit from a clean and polish. Hallmarks slightly worn but still legible, partial hallmarks to the draw which is further marked Rd. 335571.
