SOLD Meriden Quadruple Silverplate Footed Sardine Box with Tongs

Silver : Silverplate

 

A fanciful Meriden quadruple silverplate footed sardine box with matching tongs. The box has a wonderful honeycomb hammered surface and is supported on ogee feet. A most charming piece, use it to serve condiments, you don’t actually need to serve sardines, but in their heyday, they were considered a luxury.

The box is in excellent condition. We like the old unpolished patina, but it would polish brilliantly if desired.

Size: 4 ¼” H x 5 ¼” L
