English Enamel Trinket Box - $70












































This small oval box measures 2 inches by 1 1/2 inches with a rendering of Buckingham Palace on the lid and an outline design of a scroll and a rose on the inside lid.







The base is scarlet red enamel and bears the base-stamp of Crummles & Co Made in England.







This lovely older (circa 1985) keepsake is in perfect condition, with a firmly closing hinged mount and is complete with presentation case. The item is growing in rarity as Crummles is a small-but-well-known English Enamel maker, all hand-made and due to fact that they haven't made any subsequent versions of this Buckingham Palace box in more than twenty years.








A wonderful Royalty keepsake.
