Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Woodbridge Antiques

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.
