EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of artistry from the 17th century - A James I Silver Sugar Box, created in 1610. Crafted by an English School artist, this exquisite silver box measures approximately 16 cm in length and bears the maker's mark "TI" most likely referring to Thomas Jempson. The sugar box features a stunning shell-shaped design resting on four delicately crafted scallop shell feet. The hinged cover is intricately chased to resemble a scallop shell, adorned with an egg-and-dart border for added elegance. The box is fitted with a hinged clasp featuring a ring handle for easy access. Inside the body of the sugar box, there are two compartments thoughtfully designed for practicality. The craftsmanship is impeccable, evident from the meticulous markings found both inside the body and cover. With its impressive weight of 12 oz. and 15 dwt. , this silver masterpiece represents true artistry and skill in metalwork during that era. Captured beautifully by Triggs' lens, this photograph allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this historic object without any distractions or people present. It serves as a testament to England's rich cultural heritage and artistic prowess during the early seventeenth century.
