London Made・William Comyns・1900 Sterling Silver Engraved Box

📦【London Made・William Comyns・1900 Sterling Silver Engraved Box】📦 Crafted in London in 1900, weighing 103g, this piece hails from the renowned silversmith William Comyns. The entire surface is adorned with embossed scrolling leaves and floral motifs that extend to the very edge, reaching into every corner. The dimensionality is truly beautiful. A shield-shaped cartouche remains in the center, originally intended for the owner's initial, and this one is notably untouched, making it even rarer. 🕊️ Most intriguingly, doves are subtly hidden within the engravings, almost imperceptible unless closely examined. This design element is a classic detail in Comyns' work. Doves at the time symbolized "peace," "purity," or "messengers of longing," and this emotionally resonant craftsmanship is deeply cherished by the shop owner. The box may have originally served as a balm or jewelry box, but it makes a striking decorative piece today. It's perfect for display, gifting, or as a prop for photography. ✔️ Antique British Silverware ✔️ Substantial weight, intricate embossing ✔️ Excellent condition, clean with no dents ✔️ Approx. 7cm diameter x 7.5cm height ✔️ Weighs 103g *This shop primarily features European antiques, vintage items, and old objects.
