About the Item

S. Kirk & Son & Co. sterling silver besamim spice box in repousse pattern, adorned with floral and natural motifs, made between 1903 and 1924. It measures 4 1/8'' in height by 1 3/4'' in diameter at the base, and bears hallmarks as shown. Baltimore’s prominent silver manufacturing company, Samuel Kirk & Son, dates its beginning to 1815.

During this early period Kirk introduced to America the repousse treatment for silverware. Their works are present in the permanent collections of prestigious museum collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the Cooper Hewitt, and the Cleveland Museum of Art.
