Antique Edwardian Sterling Silver & Faux Tortoiseshell “Dancing Hares” Trinket Box

A rare and enchanting find for the collector of novelty silver, this Edwardian trinket box features an exquisite pair of inlaid dancing hares.

Crafted by the renowned Birmingham silversmiths Levi & Salaman in 1906, the box showcases a meticulous level of detail, with the two hares captured in mid-leap among finely chased silver foliage.

The silverwork is set into a deep, lustrous faux tortoiseshell lid, creating a dramatic and sophisticated contrast. The oval sterling silver body features a subtle reeded edge, providing a sleek base for the ornate lid.

Measuring 1.75″ tall x 2.25″ long x 0.5″ deep, it is small enough to hold a cherished ring or keepsake.

It is in excellent antique condition. Hallmarks are crisp and clear for 1906. The silver hares and foliage inlay are tight and intact. No cracks to the faux tortoiseshell background.

This piece is a sophisticated example of the whimsy often found in high-end English silver from the early 1900s. A perfect gift for a rabbit enthusiast, a unique addition to a curated animal-themed collection, or just the surprise for someone who delights in uniquely beautiful things.
