Victorian Sterling Silver and Scottish Agate Jewelry Casket

A masterpiece of Victorian craftsmanship, this sterling silver jewelry casket is a rare and extraordinary treasure. Adorned with a stunning array of Scottish gemstones—carnelian, bloodstone, Montrose agates, and more—it captures the wild beauty of the Highlands in a design as timeless as the landscape itself. The lid, hand-engraved with intricate Celtic patterns, evokes a sense of history and romance, as though it once guarded secrets of another era.

Measuring 112 mm long, 84 mm wide, and 54 mm high, this substantial box was made in Birmingham, England, in 1852. It is crafted from sterling silver, marked "JC&S," and lined with its original pink silk, perfectly preserved to this day. Perched delicately on silver feet, it is as functional as it is beautiful, combining the strength of its construction with the elegance of its design.

Far more than a jewelry casket, this piece is a work of art—a tangible connection to the Victorian fascination with Scotland’s mystique. Whether placed on a vanity or cherished as a collector’s item, it offers a glimpse into a world where beauty and craftsmanship reigned supreme.
