A Lovely Antique Victorian Silver-Plated Biscuit Box crafted in a classic oval form. The box has a hinged lid and is adorned with finely engine-turned decoration and delicate hand-engraved foliate scrollwork, centering around a round cartouche featuring a traditional motif of a knights arm holding a dagger – circa 1880.
* Once a staple of the Victorian tea table, this elegant box was designed to store and present biscuits in genteel households - but its understated beauty now makes it equally suitable as a decorative box, jewellery holder, or collectible display piece.
