Henry Matthews (1897) Sterling silver trinket dish with embossed theatre masks / faces - Cestino per le caramelle (1) - .925 argento, Argento
Victorian sterling silver small openwork bonbon basket. Round bowl with a serpentine edge is ornately pierced all over with a geometric circular design. The body is further decorated with embossed flowers, bows and scrolls in typical Art Nouveau style of the period, and trimmed with a pie-crust fluted border.
Unusually, there are four repoussé depictions of faces / theatre masks, of which two are smiling and two are frowning.
Wonderfully ornate trinket dish that would be a great vide poche on a dressing table, or perhaps be used to serve sweets at teatime.
