This exceptional antique Edwardian sterling silver box has a plain circular form.

The Art Nouveau box is fitted with a subtly domed, hallmarked push fit cover, embellished with an exceptional hot enamelled panel depicting a female character in the form of a water nymph, gazing through ripples and water lilies, all in the iconic Art Nouveau style; this is a highly desirable and collectable scene.

The sides and underside of this Art Nouveau box are plain and unembellished.

This impressive box was crafted by the London silversmiths Walter Walker & Brownfield Tolhurst of Johnson, Walker & Tolhurst Ltd.

This antique Art Nouveau box is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.

There are some minor surface blemishes to the rim of the cover.

The enamel panel is in perfect condition.

Full hallmarks struck to the interior of this Art Nouveau box and cover are all very clear.

Reflections in photography may detract from the true representation of this piece of Edwardian silverware.
