An elegant English silver-plated biscuit box dating to the turn of the twentieth century, featuring a lobed oval form embellished with delicate beaded banding and a hinged lid engraved with scrolling foliate motifs. The lid is surmounted by a finely cast acorn finial, while the box rests upon an integral oval tray decorated with stylized floral ornament and raised on four branch-form feet.
Designed for serving biscuits, sweets, or tea accompaniments, this unusual example combines the biscuit box and serving stand into a single sculptural form. Today it would make an attractive addition to a tea table, bar cart, or sideboard, and could also be repurposed as a decorative catchall.
Dimensions: 9” L x 7” D x 7” H
Wear consistent with age and use, including light scratches, minor rubbing to the silver plate, and oxidation to the interior. The hinge is secure and operates smoothly.
