Victorian tea box, silver-plated, 19th century

Tea caddy, a piece of English silverware, features a pleasant and scalloped shape. Underneath, the original authenticity mark is a crown topped with the initials W.S., from the silversmith William Suckling & Sons, based in Birmingham. In good condition, with a perfectly functioning hinge. This item could be repurposed as a refined jewellery box placed on a dressing table.
