Description
A rare item of novelty silver, dating from the early 20th century and crafted by the great Mappin & Webb. This charming piece is a small box, presumably for pills and is in the form of a guitar plectrum container. The pull-off lid opens to reveal a richly gilded interior.
A wonderful collector's piece and a great gift idea.
