This exceptional antique George V sterling silver jewellery box has a plain rectangular form.

The surface of this 1930s silver jewellery box is unembellished, apart from the feature hallmarks.

The original hallmarked hinged cover opens to reveal the original gilded interior; this has worn with age in a sympathetic fashion to an aesthetically pleasing mellow colour.

The body of this fine jewellery box is fitted with a cedar wood and bespoke navy blue velvet lined interior, which features a central well incorporating an integrated ring holder to one side.

This antique box has a weighted base and retains the original leatherette lining to the underside.

This antique 1930s silver jewellery box is an exceptional gauge of silver, exceptional quality and in exceptional condition.

The box has been professionally polished and is in presentation condition.

Full hallmarks struck to the surface of the body and part hallmarks to the surface of the cover are very clear; the maker's mark to the body and date letter to the cover show signs of wear, in keeping with age and due to their location, but all remain legible.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this piece of antique silverware.
