Antique Silver Heart Shaped Lidded Box by William Comyns

This elegant heart shaped box is by the world-renowned silversmith William Comyns & Sons. Manufactured during what many consider to be their creative peak, this box is beautifully made of a heavier gauge silver. Like much of their work this example was found in ‘shell form’ with no fitments or defined purpose. Now after a sympathetic clean and polish, the interior is finished; in pink silk, velvet and ribbon. Ideal for a present to a loved one at Christmas, Valentine’s Day…or any other occasion where a statement piece is appropriate, perhaps even as an appropriate containment for ‘that ring’?
