Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.
Note: Kate Harris was employed by the London studio of William Hutton & Sons to produce artistic silver from 1899-1905. Her work is often hallmarked for Goldsmith’s and Silversmith’s or Connells of Cheapside who were retailers as well as manufacturers. Whilst there are other boxes similar, we have not been able to find any with a similar inset lid and so perhaps this may be a later addition.
