This lovely folding biscuit box, or biscuiteer, has all the bells and whistles of highly decorative antique Victorian silver plate.
The beautifully shaped body sits upon a cast frame with remarkably chased branch supports-notice the graceful legs depict the rings in cut wood. The original interior features elegant hand-pierced dividers and opens out into two halves and is held shut by gorgeous laurel wreath loose working ring handles at the top.
Marked Mappin & Webb, an international jewellery company headquartered in England, tracing its origins to a silver workshop founded in Sheffield in 1775, still one of the finest in the world.
Measures eleven and one half inches when open.
