A superb and eye-catching piece, both decorative and practical. Dimensions below.

An Edwardian sterling silver and enamel small trinket box possesses a slender, elongated navette shape with a hinged lid. The lid displays white guilloche enamel over an engine-turned pattern, decorated with floral and foliate motifs, bordered by concentric bright blue bands and surrounding a plain silver oval cartouche. A silver body supports the top, featuring clear hallmarks on the base and part marks on the lid, while the interior contains a blue velvet lining and light wear to the gilding. It measures 1.7 cm high, 9.5 cm wide, and 3 cm deep. Placement on a bedside table suits the piece for holding small personal items such as rings or cufflinks. The blue and white colour scheme contrasts against the polished silver exterior, presenting a decorative accessory for domestic use. Daily retrieval of keepsakes occurs simply by lifting the hinged lid to access the lined interior.

A guilloche enamel box is a small decorative container crafted from silver featuring an engine-turned mechanical pattern covered with layers of translucent enamel.

These pieces were constructed from sterling or continental silver, engraved with geometric or scroll patterns using a rose engine lathe, and coated with fused glass enamel baked in a kiln.

Authentic pieces feature official silver purity hallmarks stamped on the rim or base, crisp engine-turned detailing beneath smooth enamel, and signs of natural age-related oxidisation on unpolished metal surface areas.

Position the box on a dressing table, atop a stack of design books, or displayed inside a glass cabinet to act as a refined decorative focal point.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and clean metal sections with a specialised silver polishing cloth, avoiding immersion in water or harsh chemical cleaners that could compromise the enamel.
