Main photo of George III snuff box seen from an almost eye level. This snuff box has a curved bottom for ease of fitting into pockets - it could also be used as an executive toy on the desk rocking back and forth. This photo shows the box from one of the sides on display showing the engine turned decoration which extends across the whole box. The lid is well camouflaged as it sits flush with the curved top but in this photo it is to the left with hinges visible to the right. A single pink flower rests to the right foreground of the box.

Main photo of Swedish silver soup tureen shown from a near eye level and from one side. Both sides are identical except for the lid which has a gap for the ladle (not included) This is an incredibly classical soup tureen which almost resembles first prize cup ! The base is a short rectangle with 4 ball feet, a short stem rises from its centre which holds a boat shaped tureen at its end. The cartouche of a lady is to the centre and the handles to left and right are delicate strips of silver moulded into an ear like shape. The lid fits nicely over the boat shaped tureen and has a tall centre not unlike a marquee top. This is definitely a talking point for any dining table and a wonderful piece for any silver collection.
