Silver Plate Box Set
This charming set comprises two silver plate boxes, a larger cigarette box and a smaller pill box. The cigarette box features intricate embossed detailing, likely floral or foliate motifs, across its lid and sides. The smaller pill box echoes this design, offering a coordinated aesthetic. Both pieces exhibit the craftsmanship typical of silver plate items from the early to mid 20th century, intended for display and practical use.
Condition and Collectibility
These boxes show signs of age and use, with some surface wear and potential tarnishing consistent with vintage silver plate. While not pristine, this patina adds to their character and authenticity. Collectors often seek such items for their decorative appeal, historical significance, and as examples of a bygone era of elegant accessories. These boxes would be a lovely addition to a collection of antique silver or vintage vanity items.
