Very Fine Quality Antique Austrian Solid Silver Snuff Box C1870
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:673177 |
Skillfully hand made it features an intricately hand pierced outer lid riveted onto a gilded inner lid. Presumably this is meant to facilitate the insertion of a portrait by the owner. The base is engine turned and the sides are decorated with finely hand chased naturalistic scrolls. The hinge is superb and the opening and closure are excellent. The interior is richly gilded.
It bears the makers initials KT to the interior and on the side with the small dog head ...standard mark. The mark does not incorporate a letter indicating the city of manufacture and this dates the box to between 1867 to April 1872 because after that date a letter formed part of the mark Tactile and beautifully proportioned at 89mm x 56mm x 12.5mm
It is well made from a good gauge of solid silver and is heavy at 90g
