Antique sterling silver decorative trinket/jewelry box with hinged lid, applied handle, raised repoussé-style decoration, and ball feet. The box features classical scrollwork and figural detailing executed in a traditional relief style associated with late 19th to early 20th century decorative silver.
Hallmarks visible in the photos include a lion passant, confirming sterling silver (.925), along with additional worn maker/assay marks consistent with older European or export silver. Based on construction, ornamentation, and markings, this piece is best attributed to circa 1880–1920.
The form is both functional and decorative, suitable as a jewelry box, keepsake box, or display piece.
Weight: 181.60 grams (verified at a jewelry store)
Condition: Age-appropriate wear and patina consistent with age. One foot shows a small loss at the very tip; the stem remains intact and the box sits well. This piece has been intentionally left in its natural, unpolished state. Many collectors and film/set-decoration buyers prefer original surface character; polishing or cleaning is left to the buyer’s discretion.
Approximate dimensions are shown in the photos with a tape measure for reference.
Collector Note: Hinged sterling silver boxes of this type were produced as luxury household accessories rather than souvenirs. Surviving examples in solid sterling, especially with detailed relief work and intact hinges, remain desirable among decorative silver collectors.
Estate Notice: Part of a substantial sterling silver estate being released, including fine jewelry, antique silver, and decorative pieces. Multiple items available.
