Description

We have for sale a very attractive large silver Victorian Jewellery box pincushion manufactured by the London silversmith Dimier Brothers and Co.

This quite striking jewellery box consists of a blue fabric covered lidded heart shaped box in which the domed hinged lid functions as a pin cushion. The box is decorated with a broad solid silver collar richly decorated in a pierced rococo foliate design. Opening the lid reveals a well preserved fitted box interior. The silver collar encompassing the box carries full English hallmarks for London 1897 along with the makers marks for Dimier Brothers and Co.

This large silver Victorian jewellery box is 4 inches (10.2cm) wide 4.25 inches (10.8cm) deep and approximately 3 inches (7.6cm) high. The box is in a very good usable antique condition, the hallmarks are well struck and easily read, but the fabric covering does show some signs of aging.
