1903 SILVER & EBONY JEWELLERY TRINKET BOX VINTAGE DESK ANTIQUE VANITY SET WOODEN:
$68.38

DESCRIPTION:

A solid ebony wood box on legs with a sterling silver embellishment. The silver has a vacant cartouche surrounded with decorative engravings and is hallmarked London 1903. The box measures 6 inches wide, 3.5 inches deep and 2.75 inches tall, it has \'REAL EBONY\' stamped to the base.

This extremely slow growing hardwood was imported from British India and was a popular vanity set material with both men and women from around the turn of the century to the mid 1920s, when the timber became too rare and expensive to be economically viable. These ebony relics of the period have been highly prized ever since.

CONDITION:

THE SILVER JAS A scratch to the bottom of the cartouche but is otherwise in perfect condition with no dings, rubbing or missing fixing pins. The ebony is in perfect condition with no chips or cracks, it has a very high polish.
