About the Item

An exceptional, fine and impressive antique Scottish sterling silver and 15 karat gold box; an addition to our diverse silver box collection. This exceptional Scottish sterling silver snuff/table box has an oval cylindrical form. The surface of this antique box is plain and embellished with an applied 15k yellow gold scrolling leaf design to the anterior upper portion. This Scottish silver table snuff box is fitted with an impressive hallmarked hinged cover, surmounted with an applied yellow gold scrolling decoration to a shield shaped vacant cartouche. The upper plateau of the cover is further embellished with flat engraved scrolling leaf decoration. The anterior rim of the cover features moulded border accented with a paralleling applied, moulded yellow gold thumbpiece, creating a continuation from the body and cover decoration; the applied gold details indicate the high quality of the piece. This exceptional antique silver and gold box retains the original gilding to the interior of the body and cover. The applied decoration has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 15 karat gold. Such examples with applied gold details are difficult to locate. Condition This antique Scottish silver table box is an excellent gauge of silver, excellent quality and in excellent condition. The flat engraved decoration is all very crisp. The Scottish hallmarks struck to the underside of the box and interior of the cover are all very clear. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this antique silver and gold box.
