Charming antique, Chinese hand-crafted silver box, dating to the early 20th century and possibly originating from Canton. The inside of the lid of the box, apologies if this is upside down! The lid of the box is highlighted by a highly-decorative filigree surrounding a central plaque with a foliate design. On the reverse side, there’s a charming repousse scene of a bird-possibly a dove symbolising long life and fidelity- at the foot of an exotic tree. The sides of the box are plain. The box measures 7.5cms x 5cms x 1.5cms and weighs in at a hefty. This is an unusual and highly decorative little box which would be a lovely addition to a silver collection.
