Silver Bridge Box 1907

Assayed in Chester, dated to 1907 and by silversmiths George Nathan & Ridley Hayes (marked to the drawer front and the outer case). A great card box for bridge, in amazing condition with an unusual drawer front rather than lift top. A genuinely popular silversmith, producing quality work, this has small features that have lifted it to a better than average category, it is on raised bun feet, not flat to the base. The drawer is a nice and unusual design touch, the drawer handle is a well formed practical swing handle that adds flair. The scripted raised 'Bridge' motif to the top is a good period feature as well.
