Sold by Robert Bush Antiques

Description

This is a beautiful antique Victorian sterling silver table box measuring 6 1/4” (16 cms) across and 5 1/4” (13.5 cms) x 3 1/2" (9 cms) high and hallmarked for London 1884 and with the maker’s mark for George Kenning.

This lovely box has an inscription on the top ‘The Lambkin, St Leger 1884’ and in fact the horse The Lambkin won the St Leger in that year.

It’s not clear if this was a prize for the winning owner, or if it was some other sort of gift or prize or other memento, but it is certainly an item of great historical interest to anyone interested in the history of the St Leger or of horse racing in general.

It is a pretty style having a beaded and patterned edge, the inside of the lid retains the original gilding, and it does have a lock but no key.

It weighs 554 grams and is in lovely original condition.

Free worldwide fully insured shipping included in the price.
