Description:
This is a beautiful sterling silver heart-shaped box with magnificent repousse decoration by S. Kirk & Son. The heart shape is charming and extremely appealing, but it is the remarkable repousse work that makes this box truly special. The entire surface has been lavishly embellished with a profusion of assorted flowers, ferns, leaves and other organic motifs which have created a veritable feast for the eyes. The wide variety of floral forms represented is truly impressive and each has been beautifully and expertly depicted. The quality of the craftsmanship is of an exceptionally high standard; each petal and leaf is exquisitely-detailed and has been superbly rendered with incredible skill and precision. Against the gently stippled background this lovely intricate design stands out in bold relief and creates a most realistic and life-like affect. The box is in excellent condition; the silver has a lovely, softly-pleasing patina and the details on all the repousse decoration are crisp and well-defined. The base has been clearly stamped with a pattern number, the words S. Kirk & Son Co. and 925/1000. this lovely box would make the perfect gift for any romantic occasion and would highlight any table-top setting. It measures approx. 6 3/4" X 6 1/2" X 2" tall. It weighs 20 troy ounces.
