Antique Silver Plate, Magenta Silk Lined Jewellery Casket

We found this good sized, ornately decorated silver plate (on brass) box looking very forlorn earlier this year and embarked on sensitively restoring it and giving it another life as a jewellery or keepsake casket. As the photographs show, due to over-zealous polishing in its earlier life, the silver plate turned out to be thin in places with the brass in clear sight. However, having considered the overall look, we are now delighted to present this very useful and capacious casket as a regenerated antique, complete with a bright new magenta silk interior.
