Asprey, London - Antique English Silver Pill Box Antique  English Silver %%alt5%%
An elegant and simple lidded pill box made from solid sterling silver by the creme de la creme of silversmith's / luxury retailer's Asprey of Bond Street.

The lid lifts to reveal a lavishly gilded interior. Both top and bottom have matching full hallmarks for London 1911 together with the makers mark for Asprey & Company Ltd / Asprey London.

Excellent condition measuring 1 1/2" in diameter x 1/2". Weight: 0.70 Troy Ounces / 21.7 Grams.

Founded in 1781 by William Asprey, was originally based in Mitcham, Surrey until the company moved into central London premises. From there, Asprey advertised ‘articles of exclusive design and high quality', whether for personal adornment or personal accompaniment and to endow with richness and beauty the table and homes of people of refinement and discernment.

An early speciality was dressing cases, for which Queen Victoria awarded Asprey a Royal Warrant for in 1862. In the same year Asprey was also awarded a gold medal for its dressing cases at the International Exhibition.

The 20s and 30s were a golden age for Asprey. It embraced the new style, now known as ‘Art Deco’ but then called ‘moderne’ or ‘Jazz modern’, introduced by the Paris Exposition de Arts Décoratifs in 1925. Its iconic designs reflect the new energy and originality, Asprey’s catalogues of this era are beautiful anthologies of luxury goods. It was the age of the cocktail and Asprey embraced this, creating unique, iconic humorous pieces.

The Asprey Crest, with its motto ‘It Can Be Done’, was awarded in celebration of Asprey’s 225th anniversary.
