AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antique English Silver Box 925 Sterling – London 1908 – C.H. Dumenil – 245.7 g

For sale is a beautiful antique English silver box made of sterling silver, probably from the year 1908.

The box is intricately engraved with a floral leaf and vine motif and features a decorative curved edge. The interior is gilded, giving the box a particularly beautiful and high-quality finish.

Details

• Material: Sterling silver, 925/1000
• Origin: England
• Assay office: London
• Dating: probably 1908
• Manufacturer: C.H. Dumenil / Charles Henry Dumenil
• Maker's mark: “CD”
• Weight: 245.7 g
• Interior: gilded
• Lid: opens, with a functioning hinge
• Decor: floral engravings with leaves and vines
• Era: Edwardian / early 20th century

The hallmarks show the typical London sterling silver combination: Lion passant (Silver), Leopard’s Head (London), year letter “n”, and maker’s mark “CD.” The year letter “n” corresponds to the year 1908 in London. A comparable C.H. Dumenil piece from 1908 is described exactly with this hallmark combination.

The box is in an age-appropriate used condition with fine scratches, signs of wear, and patination on the surface. The interior gilding also shows age-related traces.

Please treat the attached photos as part of the description.

The piece has not been polished to a high gloss by me, so the original surface and patina remain as intact as possible.
