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 comes from the renowned silversmith William Comyns. The entire surface is adorned with swirling floral motifs and scrollwork that extends to the very edges, with every corner meticulously detailed. The three-dimensional effect is truly beautiful. In the center, there's a shield-shaped cartouche, originally intended for engraving the owner's name in earlier times. This particular piece remains in its original state, never engraved, which is even rarer. 🕊️ What's particularly charming is the hidden dove within the engraving; you wouldn't notice it unless you looked closely. This kind of detail is a classic signature in Comyns' work. Doves, in that era, symbolized "peace," "purity," or "a messenger of longing," and this emotionally resonant craftsmanship is deeply cherished by the shop owner. The box might have originally served as a pomade or jewelry case, but it makes a striking decorative piece today. It's perfect for collectors, as a gift, or as a prop for photography. ✔️ British Antique Silverware ✔️ Substantial Weight, Delicate Engraving ✔️ Excellent Condition, Clean Overall, No Dents ✔️ Approx.
