About This Piece
An English round silver plate biscuit box engraved with a crest or armorial. Precise engine-turned engraving adds great appeal, along with two round cartouches — the front cartouche unengraved and available for personalisation, the top cartouche bearing the crest or armorial. The covered box rests on three paw feet; the base features two rows of beadwork. Believed to have been re-plated. Additional photographs available on request.
