Highly stylized sterling silver vinaigrette, pill or snuff box by famed English silversmith William Simpson circa 1826 featuring a hand hammered raised floral design along the edges with 4 small turquoise accents. The top and bottom of the box are engine turned. The top has a rectangular cartouche at the center where initials can be engraved. The box hinges open. Inside it has a gilt finish. It looks like it was originally a vinaigrette since there seems to be an area where a screen would have been inside. If it had one it is no longer there, but would be perfect for pills or snuff.<\/p>\n

Vinaigrettes, popular from the late 18th century through the mid-19th century, were small containers used for holding various aromatic substances, usually dissolved in vinegar. Carried in a pocket or reticule, or suspended from a chatelaine at the waist, it was used as a little emergency tool in case the wearer encountered foul smells.<\/p>\n

The maker’s mark impressed onto both sides of the interior. As well as a duty-mark portraying the right-facing profile of King George IV.
\nThis mark was used from 1822 to 1833. This version maker’s mark which reads “W with a dot between S” for William Simpson (this mark was used by the maker from 1825 to 1826). It has a Lion Passant and an anchor mark for made in Birmingham, England), and a date mark “c”. for 1826.<\/span><\/p>\n
