An exceptional, fine and impressive, rare pair of antique George IV English sterling silver boxes; an addition to our 19th century silverware collection.<\/p>\n

These exceptional and rare antique George IV sterling silver boxes have a plain rectangular form.<\/p>\n

The surface of each silver box is plain and unembellished, with applied thread decoration to the lower rim.<\/p>\n

Each box is fitted with a plain hinged hallmarked cover, ornamented with further applied thread decoration to the upper rim.<\/p>\n

The upper plateaus of the covers are individually embellished with an impressive contemporary bright cut engraved crest: one bears out of a ducal coronet a wyvern below the motto ‘Avi Numerantur Avorum’ – The forefathers of our forefathers are numbered and to the other an eagle regardant with wings extended grasping an escutcheon charged with a lion’s head, below the ‘Virtute et Robore’ – By Virtue and Strength.<\/p>\n

By virtue of its size these versatile 19th century boxes could be used for a multitude of functions.<\/p>\n

Such original boxes of this period and size are becoming increasingly difficult to locate.<\/p>\n

Condition
\nThese antique silver dressing table\/toilet boxes are a superior gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional presentation condition.<\/p>\n

The applied decoration is all very sharp and the engraved heraldic markings are very crisp.<\/p>\n

Full hallmarks struck to the underside of each box, in addition to part hallmarks to the surface of each cover are all very clear; the hallmarks are struck deeply due to the superior gauge of silver.<\/p>\n

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of these 19th century boxes.<\/p>\n
