On offer is a heavy sterling silver box with Chester hallmarks, crafted in a classic rectangular form with a wood lined interior. Originally intended as a cigarette box, this handsome piece is equally suited for storing jewellery, cufflinks, desk accessories or treasured keepsakes. The exterior displays attractive engine turned decoration and a monogrammed cartouche, reflecting the quality and refinement associated with early twentieth century British silverware.

The Chester Assay Office, which operated until 1962, is highly regarded among collectors, and surviving Chester marked silver remains increasingly sought after. This substantial sterling silver box retains clear Chester and lion passant hallmarks, although the maker’s mark and date letter show some wear. Presented in excellent condition for its age, it displays only light surface wear consistent with careful use.

A fine heavyweight Chester sterling silver box offering both practical use and strong collector appeal.
