Description
A very rare silver string box in the form of an apple, with a hollow stalk for dispensing the thread. The body is beautifully tactile, with a lovely curved form and concave dimple base. The box twists open to reveal the original gilt washed interior. Novelty items were very popular in the late Victorian/ Edwardian period and this is a fine period example. A highly sought after piece ideal for the collector of unusual items, or as a special gift idea. Hallmarks to both parts.
