Description
It's been a long time since I have had a Fenton Brothers Curling box, the last was slightly larger, more of a biscuit box and a slightly different format, but with exactly the same mark, by Fenton Brothers of Sheffield.
The larger of three pieces would be more of Bon Bon or Candy box, or smaller biscuits or cookies; measuring 5" in diameter x 6" tall. The box is supported on four wonderful crossed Curling Brushes. The handle at the top is made from horn and slightly different to the other two.
The two smaller boxes are serving dishes for sauces or something similar as they have the spot for a spoon to be left, the spoons came with the dishes but are not by the same maker but finish the offering. These two smaller boxes measure 4 1/2" in diameter x 4 1/4" tall.
All pieces are marked by the Fenton Brothers, and would date them to the late Victorian era, around 1890. They are also marked EP for Electro-Plated (silver plate).
