An absolutely stunning solid silver Pill Box by the renowned silversmith: Sampson Mordan. This circular box is decorated in a wonderful wrythen design, to both the front and back, seldom seen. The box opens and closes nicely and when opened a lovely pale lemony gilt finish is revealed. Both front and back bear the clear hallmarks for the London Assay office with a date mark for London 1893 and Lion Passant indicating the finest sterling silver. The maker's mark is also very clear for Sampson Mordan.
