Comments: A very fine example of a Georgian silver bougie box. This box has additional features that other similar boxes lack - secret hinge to top cover, bright-cut engraved decoration and crisp lion crest - all are indicative of high quality. The top cover has a spinning crescent for extinguishing the taper. The condition is superb with a clear set of hallmarks and appropriate part marks for this sought after lady silversmith.

A bougie box was a desk accoutrement for holding tapers to melt sealing wax. They were used as an alternative to tapersticks and wax jacks with the advantage of being portable.
