A lovely silver jewellery box by Henry Matthews, an excellent silversmith. It is in both excellent and original condition with the original silk lining and the original leather base. The iris pattern stands in high relief on the lid. It stands levelly on four good legs, and the hinge lid is in excellent order. Excellent gauge of silver . The base may possibly be weighted but it doesn't feel like it. Hallmarks for Birmingham 1903. Size 13.2 x 10.5 x 4.8 cms, 5.3 x 4.1 x 2.6 inch. Weight 275 gms - this includes lining, and leather base.
