Antique Victorian Silver Plated Shell Biscuit by Box Fenton Brothers 19thC

This is a highly decorative Antique Victorian silver plated folding biscuit box, the base bearing the makers' mark of the renowned silversmiths Fenton Brothers of Sheffield, England, circa 1890 in date and bearing the Staniforth's Patent mark as well as the registration number 3549.

It has a plain shell-shaped body sitting in a cast frame with remarkably chased branch supports and the original interior features elegant hand-pierced dividers. 

 
The opening mechanism is as intricate as the shell decoration, it opens out into two halves and is held shut by gorgeous laurel wreath loose ring handles at the top.
  
This wonderful container could house anything from sweets to biscuits or trinkets.

 
Whatever you choose to store in this lovely item you are sure to do it in style.
