A Fabulous Antique Victorian Silver-Plated Biscuit Box featuring twin hinged lids and richly engraved foliate detailing, this elegant piece once held biscuits or sweetmeats during afternoon teas in fine English homes. With its beautifully chased surfaces and dual compartments, it’s both a functional serving piece and a striking decorative object. Less frequently seen than round or single-lid versions, this dual-lid design is particularly collectible – circa 1880.
* Fill with shortbread, digestives, or macarons to serve with elegance during gatherings or quiet teatimes.
