THIS IS A WONDERFUL AND RARE ORIGINAL ARTS & CRAFTS PERIOD, ART DECO STERLING SILVER BOX ADORNED WITH GORGEOUS LAPIS LAZULI CABOCHONS ON ALL FOUR SIDES AND ON THE TOP.
The Arts & Crafts silver work which is adorned with gemstones is highly coveted. This is an absolutely stunning small silver box which can be used as a jewelry box, ring box, pill box or for whatever treasure you wish. It has a hand hammered top set with the lapis in a circle design. Lapis cabochons adorn all four sides of the box. The box has lovely footed feet. I just love the gorgeous round blue lapis cabochons with the spectacular design in sterling silver. The overall effect of this design is truly magnificent!
The box is a delightful 1 3/4 inches (4.5cm) tall. It is 2.5 inches (5.5cm) square.
One of the rear corners of the top has a very slight indentation which is almost impossible to see.
The box dates to the Arts & Crafts period, circa 1900-1910.
It is hallmarked with the British Lion...
