This is a stylish late vintage jewellery box with a stunning hallmarked sterling silver lid. It dates to 1992 and is in very good condition.

This box is made of solid wood and has a beautiful Mahogany stained finish.

The lid has a fully hallmarked solid silver top that has a stunning Victorian-inspired design! It features a raised oval centre with beautiful embossed Roses, surrounded by very pretty embossed bows and ribbons. All of this is beautifully framed with embossed swags. All of the embossment is in high relief and has a wonderful three-dimensional effect.

The box has quality stop hinges which hold the lid upright.

The box has a stylish shallow plinthed base and the bottom has a soft felt covering which will protect the surfaces of furniture.

The Manufacturer

This beautiful box was made by the renowned silversmiths firm, Carrs of Sheffield. This company was established in 1977 and they are still in production today. They produce high-quality decorative silverware. This particular box of theirs is from 1992 and is a retired design. It can no longer be purchased new. Their current smallest wood and silver box is £140 and much plainer than this one. (Price correct as of 25th November 2021).
