Antique 925 sterling silver snuff box, Birmingham 1902
A touch of noblesse - British craftsmanship in its purest form
This fine, antique snuff box made of 925 sterling silver is an outstanding example of British silver art from the early 20th century. Made in 1902 in Birmingham by the renowned silversmiths Cornelius Desormeaux Saunders & James Francis Hollings (Frank) Shepherd, it combines masterful engraving with functional elegance.
The oval shape sits comfortably in the hand and the hinged lid has a delicately curved, unmarked cartouche - perfect for a personalised engraving. The finely crafted arabesque pattern has been intricately engraved by hand and gives the box its stylish character. Gold-plated on the inside, with a charming, age-appropriate patina on the outside that reflects its history with dignity.
Whether as a stylish snuff box, elegant pill box or for fine pipe tobacco - this piece is far more than just an accessory. It is an expression of cultivated taste, a testimony to perfect craftsmanship and a valuable collector's item for lovers of historical silversmithing.
For the gentleman with a sense of style, history and something special.
