About the Item

We are delighted to offer this fine & larger Georgian solid silver table snuff box made in Birmingham 1832, with marks for Joseph Willmore. This box presents an array of exemplary and desirable traits of a Georgian snuff box. Although inconceivable through photos, the heft, quality and gauge of silver upon handling in person is exceptional. Weighing in at 214 grams, the box almost feels like it is a bar of silver, offering an exceptionally reassuring feel in hand. The entire exterior is beautifully decorated with classical engine turning and the top lid featuring a profusely chased and engraved floral border. The border remains in very crisp condition and features a high relief and a three-dimensional effect with acanthus leaves and floral motifs. The ornate border creates space for a contrasting central section in which a mirror-finish has been left with a hand-engraved crest of a stag/ducal coronet and motto "JOVE PRESTAT FIDERE QUAM HOMINE". Upon opening the lid (which has a very smooth and perfect closure), the interior has been richly gilt (gold on top of solid silver), which not only serves a wonderful aesthetic contrast to the exterior but also protects silver from tarnishing from the contents held within. An additional point of detail is its base which has also been engine turned (with a cartouche with a later engraving). Such extensive decoration, even on a part that would not be visible is a perfect representation of the attention to detail and 'no cost cut' earnestness of fine Georgian craftsmanship. Overall, an exemplary table snuff box with each element finished to the highest degree. Ideal for box collections or a single impressive accent piece for the discerning box lover. Furthermore, it may also be used for practical storage of snuff, mints, medication etc. A full set of English hallmarks is present on the base and lif of the box. *Please note: all images with other items are for display purposes only, this listing is for the title item only.

Condition Excellent Condition - The snuff box remains in excellent antique condition, with no major damage or issues. Very slight surface wear commensurate with age with crisp engine-turning.
