LEGACY OF LUXURY OPENS AT THE TANGLIN CLUB , SINGAPORE THIS THURSDAY MAY 15 UNTIL SATURDAY 17 MAY -CHAMPAGNE AWAITS
An English silver jewellery box by William Comyns dating from the early 1900’s.
This must have beeen a specially commissioned box.
William Comyns was a well respected silversmith known for his intricate detail and use of scenes as decoration.
This lid of this jewellery box has a really charming picture in silver. The picture shows a young couple riding away in a carriage after their wedding with all the guests wishing them bon voyage. Wedding bells decorate the sides and the scalloped edges of the box also have pretty scroll detail.
The interior of the box has the original navy blue velvet lining.
What an amazingly thoughtful wedding gift which could also now be an anniversary gift
