Item Details
Description

A George IV silver snuff box, of rectangular engine-turned form with applied foliate borders and personally engraved central cartouche, opening to reveal a silver-gilt interior. Hallmarked Ledsam, Vale & Wheeler, Birmingham 1828. Width measures 8.2 cm, weight 2.8 ozt (87.5 g).

Condition Report:
  • In good overall condition, the lot displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use.
  • Significant loss of definition to the engine-turned decoration.
  • The cartouche is heavily worn, engraved 'A. Goulston?'.
  • There is a horizontal line visible to the bottom of the box which runs inline with the engine-turned decoration and feels like a slight ridge to touch.
  • Remnants of polish visible and residue from a sticker and a circular surface mark to the interior.
  • The silver-gilt is faded towards the middle of the box. Hallmarks clear and legible.
  • Condition reports are offered as a guide only and we highly recommend inspecting any lot to satisfy yourself as to its condition.
