Description

Presented is a superb English sterling silver jewelry box made by William
Comyns.  The top of the box is decorated with cherubs or angels amid clouds. The

passant, the leopard’s head, and the date letter.
The condition is excellent.  There are no dents, no splits, no monograms, no
monogram removals, no breaks, and no repairs.
The jewelry box measures 5 5/8 inches by 9 inches by 2 1/4 inches tall.
The total weight is 779 grams or 27.3 ounces. This weight includes the wood
on the interior and the base.
