An exquisite French gilt bronze jewellery box decorated with five silver plated panels depicting 17th century scenes in relief standing on four circular feet, circa 1870. The lid opens with its original key to reveal a blue silk lined interior and an engraved mark for the retailer, 'Asser & Sherwin London'. The base is signed with the manufacturer's mark 'A B. PARIS'.

This would look wonderful on a dressing table housing special items of jewellery.

In the 1860’s and 70’s the Asser & Sherwin business was listed in London trade directories as dressing case, travelling bag, bagatelle board and billiard table manufacturers. However, Asser & Sherwin did not manufacture all of the items they sold in their shop. Many were procured in other places such as Paris, where the company acquired “elegances” and “fancies” including this box in order to cater to ladies and gentleman with the resources to purchase such things. By 1882 the shop had closed, thereby providing the latest date for the manufacturing and retailing of this jewellery casket.

Dimensions: Width 14.4 x Depth 9.2 x Height 7.5 cm
Weight 816 g

Condition: Fine antique condition. The lid is a little warped and front right corner of the rim on the base is a little bent but these are relatively minor. The key locks and opens easily.

Postage & packing: £6 within the UK. Please contact us for a quote if you would like to send this to an international destination
