Description

An extremely pretty, Edwardian solid silver pill box. Shaped as a heart, this pill box has a lovely ornamented repousse lid, in a charming design, with a small central heart that could be used as a cartouch for engraving . The box is hinged to the top and opens and closes perfectly. When opened it reveals a lovely pale gilded interior. Very clear hallmarks for the Birmingham Assay Office are visible on the inside base, with a date mark for 1901 and Lion Passant indicating sterling silver. The silversmith's maker's marks are also very clear for Adie & Lovekin. Partial marks are also visible on the lid.

Condition: This box is in great antique condition. There are a few superficial small dents to the bottom commensurate with age that I mention for accuracy only.

Hallmarks and maker's marks: Birmingham 1901 by Adie & Lovekin.
