A wonderful quality rare and unusual ANTIQUE SILVER POTPOURRI BOX made by the renowned London silversmith, Samuel Jacobs in 1900.

The interior of this delightful Potpourri Box has a light gilt coating. The lid fits well and the hinge is in very good condition. The box is in excellent condition with virtually no wear visible and is free from any added inscriptions, monograms or initials.

(George III 1787 Silver Sixpence:

The George III Silver 1787 Sixpence was only struck for circulation for just one year, 1787. Rather than The Royal Mint, this coin was in fact struck by The Bank of England to give out to their favoured clients around Christmas, making this Pot Pourri Box incredibly rare and collectable.)
