A Great silver snuff box by renowned silversmith Nathaniel Mills. This box has an all over decoration and an ornate thumbpiece. The decoration continues around the edges which is where Nataniel Mills' pieces are often set apart from other quality boxes as the decoration and detail is of a far higher level. It is engraved to the top cartouche with an ornate initial G. Condition: Used - good, There is some minor wear to the decoration around the edges of the... lid and the base - this is commensurate with age, use and polishing. The hinge is good and the box closes well although there is a very tiny gap between the lid and the box when closed. The top of the box has a very slight wave to it which is common in boxes that have been used as they become a little compressed with time and use. Hallmarks are crisp and clear. There are some remnants of pink silver polish around the edges and there is a grey mark inside the lid where the gilding is discoloured - see pictures. As far as we are aware this is just discolouration and not repair. Dimensions (approx): L:6.3cm, W: 3.7cm, H: 1.2cmSilver Weight: 37gIf you have any questions please ask and we will be happy to help.
