About the Item

This elegant acid-etched crystal box with a sterling silver lid was manufactured by George Henckel & Co., a distinguished American silversmith active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Measuring 6 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 2.5 inches high, this rectangular box seamlessly blends intricate glasswork with finely crafted silver. The crystal body is adorned with a beautifully executed acid-etched design featuring a continuous motif of flowers and leaves, gracefully flowing both vertically and horizontally across all sides. The etching has a soft, frosted appearance that contrasts subtly against the smooth, clear crystal background. At the center of the box, a distinctive horizontal band composed of eight parallel lines wraps completely around the perimeter, providing a visual break and adding architectural structure to the organic floral design.

The sterling silver lid sits flush atop the crystal base and features a rich hammered finish, giving it a hand-wrought, artisanal texture that catches and reflects light with a soft shimmer. At the center of the lid is a plain cartouche—a smooth, raised oval intended for personalization, though this example remains unmonogrammed, preserving its original clean aesthetic. Sophisticated and functional, this box would have originally served as a dresser or vanity container—ideal for holding jewelry, trinkets, or fine toiletries. It is a striking example of early 20th-century American decorative arts, combining the crisp elegance of etched crystal with the understated luxury of hand-finished sterling silver.The sterling silver lid sits flush atop the crystal base and features a rich hammered finish, giving it a hand-wrought, artisanal texture that catches and reflects light with a soft shimmer.
