Product code: Victorian Jewel Box by Wilcox Silverplate Co. hotsell c. 1890

This claw-footed majesty is a heavy hitter, weighing in at 3 lbs 14 oz. of quadruple plated silver on tin and straight out of a velvet-lined 1890s boudoir. Made by Wilcox Silverplate Co. (Meriden, CT), this jewel box would have held all the tiny gems and baubles of an Upper Middle Class Late 19th Century American woman and likely passed through multiple generations as a beloved heirloom before landing in the hands of yours truly. Let's keep that chain unbroken hotsell and give this beauty its next century or two of looking fabulous on a well-decorated vanity or dresser. There is an elegant little lock on the front but no key. No monogram and excellent antique condition aside from some remaining dark tarnish. This piece has been given a preliminary polishing to ensure quality but can be further shined to full on blinding sparkle should you desire! Makes a beautiful gift for someone special, fill it with photos, magical rocks and crystals, medicinal herbs, or whatever makes your heart light up. A home can never have enough magical boxes, and every cool 19th century person knew this. Giveth thyself a silver jewel box today and hoard your earthly treasures with maximum sophistication!
