Item Details

A fine burr oak tobacco box, made and retailed by Alfred Clark, fitted with a gilded brass, campaign style handle and Bramah lock (with key). The lid lifts to reveal a satinwood lined interior, further embellished with coromandel and with gilded brass corner straps. The silver trim to the lead lining and the knob to the floating cover are hallmarked for London 1900; the maker’s mark of Alfred Clark is further confirmed by an engraved and inlaid plaque between the hinges and the address 33 New Bond Street.

Approx. 6 inches x 6 inches x 6 inches

Alfred Clark founded his business in 1880 and was listed as a silversmith and manufacturer of fitted travelling bags, by appointment to HRH the Prince and Princess of Wales. In 1888 the Prince of Wales ordered a clock to present to the Princess on the occasion on their silver wedding anniversary. Clark had several premises in the Mayfair area and moved to 33 New Bond Street in 1903 where he remained until 1916.
