Antique Figural Desk Box & Inkwell - Cherub - 1879
A magnificent and rare find, this box is made from English silver plate with a gilded cherub and pieced gallery. The box is in the form of a lap desk with engraving to the front, sides and the hinged lid. The centre of the lid has a personal inscription as a wedding gift in 1880.
The interior of the box is lucky enough to have an English design registration diamond shaped lozenge which allows us to date the piece accurately, this one is for 1879, which ties in exactly to it's presentation as a gift in 1880.
The two cut crystal inkwells sit either side of the Cherub holding a letter. Behind the cherub are two pairs of brackets to accommodate two dip pens (no pens included in the sale). At the top of this stand at the back is a C ring to hang a pocket watch when at home, this would then become a desk-top timepiece.
A quite magnificent box in excellent condition with a footprint measuring 7 1/2" x 5 1/2" and standing 7" tall to highest point.
