Beautiful antique heart shaped silver box decorated with high relief cherubs fishing by a stream. This is a very rare item almost impossible to find pieces like this today. When you lift the top off the box it has high relief sculptured cherubs sitting by a water bin. One looks like he has a live fish in his hand. It has a hinge lacking its pin. Your jeweler could put a pin in there if you wanted one. To open the box now you just lift off the top. This is the only one like this I have seen in my more than 45 years buying, selling, appraising, and collecting antiques. This is a really sweet objet d' art that will appeal to anyone that like high quality, rare, unusual items or has a fondness for cherubs. Weight 36 grams. From the point of the heart to the back of the heart it measures 1-7/8 inches. Widest width 2 inches. Height 3/4 inch. It is rare to find one with its original interior gilding perfect like this one. Guaranteed to please the most particular collector or connoisseur. (Item #72585)
