This is an Antique English Arts & Crafts Peened Bronze Patinated Copper Lidded Box.
At the time of the original listing, we are in the process of listing a large number of antique and vintage items purchased in England. These items are an eclectic mix including gold and sterling jewelry, and many unique, and in some cases, one of a kind items, in wood, brass, and iron, and other materials as well.
We did not get any specific information on the box, but I believe it is of the Arts and Crafts Period, circa 1900-1910, and we will guarantee your satisfaction with your purchase of this beautiful, heavy, high quality tray. My assumption is that the box was made in England where we purchased it, but I do not know for sure.
The box has a very nice bronze patina. Where there is some minor wear on the lip from contact with the lid you can see small spots oa a brighter copper color. My assumption is that the box is made from solid copper with an applied bronze patination. The box appears to be hand crafted and hand peened. The heavy peening carries through and can be seen on the inside of the box. The conical pieces with concentric rings that support the handle on the lid are repeated on the four feet.
The box weighs 1 pound and 5 ounces, and it has a nice heavy feel. The measurements of the body of the box are 4 3/4" square x 3" high. The total height including the feed and the handle is about 4 1/2".
There is no maker's mark on the box.
