Antique German Silver Christening Box - Stork & Baby - Schleissner & Sohne C1880

19th century
Description

This is a superb large German antique silver circular ‘christening’ box measuring 4” (10 cms) across and 2” (5 cms) high.

It has a beautiful decorated lid with a stork carrying a baby on its back in a lake setting with reeds and trees.

All around the edge is decorated with flowers and leaves.

It's hallmarked underneath with the German maker’s marks for Schleissner and Sohne.

Under the aegis of Daniel Schleissner the firm was one of the pre-eminent producers of top quality silverware in the latter years of the 19th century.

With the stork and baby decoration you would think it would be a gift for a christening, but this beautiful box could also be used on a desk or dressing table.

It weighs 197.6 grams

Free worldwide fully insured shipping included in the price.

Declaration

Robert Bush Antiques has dated this piece to the Victorian era.
