Description
Rare 1847 Antique Victorian sterling Silver and cut crystal box that is hallmarked. I believe it was made by William Hunter and Thomas Hubbard Bristish Silversmiths with the mark WH over TH. It has the Lion ( sterling) Uncrowned Leopard's Head for London, Gothic M which dates it to 1847 and a profile of Queen Victoria that was used from 1838-1890.
The Repousse Sterling lid is a heavy gauge repousse Bird on Perch and one standing that is under the seashell with berries, flowers and leaves with a monogram in the center. The seashell unscrews to open the box and screws down tight.
The cut glass crystal bottom is clear with a square cut top. There are some small chips/ fleabits mainly on the corners commensurate from and and use. I had to use a loop to see them and didn't find them to distract from it's beauty, For 179 years old I find it in amazing condition.
Any blue you see on the sterling is a reflection of the top I was wearing. Examine all photos.
