A fantastic Silver box with embossed, etched and chased Hunting Scene to the lid. The scene is a typical Hunting Scene with Huntsman on Horseback, hounds, trees and rolling countryside. The hinged lid opens to reveal a gilded interior. The box is stamped 0.925 inside the base of the box - see picture. This is a lovely box and would be a unique and novel silver gift for any occasion.
Date: late 20th Century.
Condition -
This box is in very condition with one minor knock to the corner of the lid. On close inspection there is a tiny hole in the decoration on the lid but this was part of the manufacturing process as opposed to being rubbed through - it is just at the top of the horse's head. The decoration is clean and crisp and is well defined. The gilded interior is very good with just some minor age / use related marks. The box closes well and the hinge is good. The marks are in the base and these are small but clear. This silver box shows only minimal signs of use and age and really is a lovely piece of modern novelty silver.
