Antique Charles II Silver Counter Box (Circa 1670)

About the Item

An exceptional, fine and rare antique Charles II English silver counter box; an addition to our 17th century collection. This exceptional and rare antique Charles II silver counter box has a circular form. The surface of the body is encompassed with impressive embossed leaf and bead decoration. This antique silver counter box retains the original push fit cover embellished with a six petalled floral design, reflecting the style of a 'slipped' Tudor rose. The cover opens to reveal five George III maundy pennies and a three-halfpence; these date from 1792-1834. NOTE: Counter boxes contained a number of disks, commonly stamped or engraved with portraits of English monarchs, that were used as game markers and counting devices. A counter box rarely has hallmarks. Condition This silver box is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in excellent condition. There are no hallmarks as to be expected with such a piece; the date and origin can be determined by the composition and decoration. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this example of Charles II silverware.
