Victorian Silver Card Case Nathaniel Mills Engraved Lake Coastal Scene

SOLD

Code: FA0552



Very nice Victorian silver card case by Nathaniel Mills. Ornate shaped edge and very fine engraved decoration both sides, with a main reserve of a coastal scene of sailing boats and a small coastal village. Scrolls and arabesques mark out shaped panels each side, each one with a different machine engraved finely detailed pattern and the reverse side has a central engraved image of a vase of flowers.

Hallmarked for Birmingham 1848.


It measures 10cm (3 7/8") tall, 7cm (2 3/4") wide and 1cm (3/8") deep and weighs 69g/2.2ozt.

Condition is very good; it was originally gilded and traces of the gilding remain down the sides. There is a very slight bruise to the edge of the bottom left corner, no other damage or repairs and very light surface wear. The engraved detail and hallmarks are lovely and crisp.
