English Collections 2 -
17th /18th Century Silver Filigree at Lanhydrock House, Cornwall.
National Trust.
I suspect that these items were collected separately and didn't start life together.
The Silver Filigree Dressing Table Set (no sizes given).
The Case size 42.5 x 48.1 cms.
Two rectangular caskets.
Two round boxes of different sizes and detailing.
A Pen Case?
Scissor case.
Two matching heart shaped boxes.
An Oval Mirror case.
Larger Oval Box.
Oval Filigree box with repousse relief of Genre scene (Dutch?).
Round Box with rounded sides.
Three smaller boxes or cases.

The Oval Silver Filigree Mirror Case.
Late 17th / early 18th Century Silver Filigree Mirror case.
The detail of the clasp and the applied pressed leaves leads me to believe that this piece is of English manufacture.

Silver Filigree Oval Box.

17th/ 18th Century Silver Filigree Box with Repoussé Genre / Tavern Scene on the lid.
I suggest Netherlands.
____________________
Round Box with Rounded Sides.
I suggest 19th/ 20th Century.
Stylistically very different from the other filigree objects in this collection - It feels more modern to me.

Small Round Box or Case
The applied silver repousse flowers lead me to think that this little box is English.
I will return to the subject of English Silver Filigree in due course.
