Antique British 925 Sterling Silver Art Nouveau Bow Carved Coin Purse Small Box 1910

(This sterling silver purse has not been polished yet, kept in its original state for your reference.) A rare, century-old British sterling silver purse with intricate carvings and a chain. Both the front and back of the purse feature beautiful engravings. Both sides display charming carvings of bows and small flowers, with one side also bearing an initial! Exquisite detail throughout. There are several captivating hallmarks: The anchor represents the assay office - Birmingham. The lion passant signifies Sterling Silver. The letter 'P' denotes the year of manufacture (this purse is from around 1910). 'JGLtd' is the maker's mark (full name: J. Gloster Ltd.). The interior is lined with genuine leather, showing minor cracks on the side. Additionally, near the clasp, the leather lining has a slight lifting tendency, but it's only a small area and can be addressed (this is easier to manage). The overall feel is wonderful, and the chain includes a large loop, allowing it to be slipped onto a finger! It’s like carrying a miniature treasure! Purse dimensions: 11 cm x 5.5 cm, with a depth of 2 cm. A silver polishing cloth will be included for the buyer.
