Antique William Simpson Sterling Silver Snuff Box William IV Birmingham Style

Description

This is a beautiful William Simpson Sterling Silver Snuff Box, William IV - Birmingham 1836-1837
This box weighs 91.8 grams and measures just over 3" x 1 3/4" x 1/2"
The box opens to what seems to be a vermeil wash and the hallmarks, which look like: A profile of a face, WS, and a lion with a paw up (on the lid) and on the inside bottom of the box the markings look like: An anchor, WS, and some other marking that I cannot make out.
The box is wonderfully decorated in detail with a floral edge on the front of the lid. The top of the lid has an engraving in the center which looks like BW. The sides of the box are ribbed and the top and bottom are almost textured-like.
The box opens and closes nicely.
Some patina as well as minor scratches/marks on the inside. Some minor spotting/marks on the edges of the lid. Please view all pictures. Thank you!
