Description
Lovely small Sterling Silver box with the word "Souvenir" written on the lid. On the interior of the box there are several silver marks, including the Lion Passant mark, which is silver purity or standard =.833 (this denoted Sterling in The Netherlands until 1953). Also, AD 8, is the makers mark, difficult to identify but considering the marks, it is a Dutch name. The small letter "a" dates the box to 1860. The box is square-ish, with curved edges instead of angular forms, taking on the aesthetic inclinations of the Romantic period. On the lid, it combines some abstract patterns with other more floral decorations. It measures 2 inches wide by approximately 1/2 inch tall. The base has a rhombus line engine turned pattern, which remains in great condition. It is quite charming because of it's hand-etched look. It is exquisitely made, with a gilt wash interior that is a nice touch as the box opens up. Can be used to carry pills, or any other small items. It would make a lovely gift for someone special, a great object for creating a special moment, a memory or a souvenir.
