{"product_id":"kd53759","title":"Antique Victorian Silver Plated Figural Biscuit Box 1874","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wonderfully decorative Victorian silver plated biscuit box bearing a diamond registration mark dating to 1874, featuring an elaborate cylindrical body adorned with deeply raised classical figures in flowing drapery. The figures are arranged in a continuous scene around the box, with playful cherubs, floral garlands and finely textured backgrounds creating a particularly striking three-dimensional effect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe box stands on a broad, stepped circular base and is finished with beaded borders above and below the figural decoration. Its hinged, domed lid is surmounted by a charming sculptural finial depicting a small standing figure resting against a draped shield, raised on a decorative foliate and scrollwork mount. The smooth, polished surfaces of the lid and base provide an attractive contrast to the richly detailed body.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat we particularly like about this piece is the remarkable depth and movement of the decoration, with the figures seeming to emerge from the surface of the silver. The sculptural finial adds another delightful detail, making this as much a decorative object as a practical biscuit box. A splendid Victorian table centrepiece, equally suited to displaying on a sideboard or cabinet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeasurements:\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 11\" (approx. 28cm)\u003cbr\u003eDiameter of base: 6 1\/4\" (approx. 16cm)\u003cbr\u003eTotal weight: 1638g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn good condition – The silver plate shows only light surface wear consistent with age and careful handling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eItem Details:\u003cbr\u003eClassification: Antique\u003cbr\u003eEra: Victorian\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Silver Plated\u003cbr\u003eItem: Biscuit Box\u003cbr\u003eDate: 1874\u003cbr\u003eDecoration: Raised Figural and Cherub Motifs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eItem Reference: KD53759\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kingsdown Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55358251663698,"sku":"KD53759","price":485.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/9114\/4018\/files\/20260924_150354_Antiques.jpg?v=1793991742","url":"https:\/\/www.kingsdownantiques.com\/products\/kd53759","provider":"Kingsdown Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
