Description

We are delighted to offer this wonderful Georgian solid silver etui/needle case with the marks of Taylor & Perry, Birmingham 1830.The small proportions and shape are quite charming and modest, yet the level of intricacy and embellishments are quite the contrary.

The entirety of the case is ornately embossed, chased and engraved with splendid Georgian floral and scroll motifs.

This, in addition to its age and patina, creates a wonderful contrasted look. The lid is secured by a sprung hinge and a push button on the side.

This is still functional however it has weakened over the years and if the lid is pulled with some force, it will also open without the use of the button.

A lovely small collectable yet exemplary etui of the late Georgian period - ideal for storing sewing equipage or small items.

A full set of English hallmarks is present on the base of the case.

*Please note: all images with other items are for display purposes only, this listing is for the single snuff box only.

SIZE

Size (cm) H:6.3cm W:3cm (at the top).

Weight: 31.15 grams (1.002 Troy oz) total.

CONDITION

Good Condition - The etui/case is in good antique condition considering its age. A few dents on the top lid and base are present. As mentioned above, the catch of the push button is loose now but still fully functional. Otherwise, the case remains in very good order with crisp decoration and a quality feel in hand. We aim to overemphasize and state these issues to avoid disappointment and thus please rest assured they are not significant nor affect the usage of the items.

Please refer to the photographs to examine the condition in further detail.
