Description
This is a gorgeous flower themed pot pourri box. The body and lid are in hallmarked silver, with a 'waisted' body. The fabulous lid is pierced and is engraved with foliate motifs. To the centre is a stunning mother of pearl insert, representing a pansy. The pull off lid opens to reveal a fully gilded interior. Pot pourri boxes were beloved in Victorian and Edwardian times. Filled with scented petals or herbs, they were used to fragrance cupboards or clothing drawers. A charming idea, still practical today.
