Rare Antique English Silver on Nickel Banded Oak Signed Dome-Top Stationery Box
About the Item
It is particularly rare to find Antique English 19th century boxes that are "signed" by its manufacturer. This one, stamped clearly on the inside top edge "Halstaff & Hannaford, 228 Regent Street W" was made by one of the finest, Royal Warranted box makers of the 19th century. They specialized in ladies work boxes, writing boxes (lap desks) and dressing cases until 1898. Their boxes are considered exemplary and highly prized. Please note the handsome quarter sawn oak, the lovely dome-shaped lid and the silver plate on nickel banding/strapwork, some of which has wear to the original plate. The gros-grained satin lining is original to the box and it is in lovely, original condition.
