"Vicar and Moses" 19th-century Enamel Box Catalogue: Antiques: Decorative Art: Enamel: Pre 1900 item# 983142 (stock# 5218-2)

Most likely French, 19th century. The lug on the back of the hinge is typical of those found on nineteenth century Samson boxes. This detail was completely unknown on eighteenth-century English boxes. In addition, the milled and ribbed finish found on the hinge is indicative of a machine made hinge. Finally, the motif of the “Vicar and Mose” (sic) was inspired by an extremely popular song written by the traveling actor George Alexander Stevens circa 1790. So popular was this song of a drunken ...click for details

Attributed to South Staffordshire, England, Possibly Bilston, late 18th century. The “gingham finish” was principally produced in this area. By placing a piece of cambric over solid ground color and then applying white enamel this finish was achieved. The three dimensional decoration was also found in the area. It was normally created by applying several layers of enamel. In addition, the unusual heart shape has been found in other Bilston boxes. ...click for details

18th-century English Enamel Patch Box Catalogue: Antiques: Decorative Art: Enamel: Pre 1800 item# 983135 (stock# 5218-25)

18th-century English Transferware Patch Box; Now known as Royal Leamington Spa, the town of Leamington began its prodigious spa industry in 1784 when it began building baths around its salt springs. Consequently, the image on this patch box displays a Classical figure holding a caduceus, a symbol of the medical community dating back the sixteenth century. Thus, it is safe to say that this could have been produced no earlier than the last quarter of the eighteenth century. In addition, this box ...click for details

English, Bilston, 18th century, patch box. These memento boxes were popular at the end of the eighteenth century and frequently given as tokens of friendship and love.

19th-century French Enamel Box, "Memoire d'un Ami" Catalogue: Antiques: Decorative Art: Enamel: Pre 1900 item# 983129 (stock# 5218-10)
click for details		STUDIO ANTIQUES & FINE ART, INC. 703-548-5188 $525.
Most likely French, 19th century. A nineteenth-imitation of the extremely popular souvenir boxes made in Bilston at the end of the eighteenth century (see 5218-18). However, it clearly dates to the late nineteenth century. The lug and ribbed banding on the metal hinge, and the inferior quality of the painting identify this box as a nineteenth-century creation. It’s also important to note that the use of the French on the lid is not indicative of its origin, but rather another attempt at eightee ...click for details
