A superb Edwardian silver jewel box/ trinket box, of good proportions. The elegant body stands on four cast legs, with leaf and paw design. The base and lid borders have leaf pattern embossed to the edges. The hinged lid is gilded inside and the box retains the original blue silk lining. To the top is a stylish engine turned design with a central vacant cartouche. A superb decorative example, with a practical use.
