Antique J.D. Schleissner Hanau 800 Silver Rococo Figural Casket Box

Exceptional antique German Hanau 800 silver casket/box attributed to J.D. Schleissner & Söhne, featuring highly detailed Rococo Revival/Historicist figural relief, scrolling ornament, floral decoration and putti/cherub imagery. The hallmark area is an important feature of this piece and shows the German crescent-and-crown silver mark, 800 fineness mark, and the distinctive maker’s mark associated with J.D. Schleissner & Söhne of Hanau. This is genuine 800 silver, meaning the alloy contains 80% silver. The elaborate figural decoration, Hanau manufacture and identified J.D. Schleissner & Söhne maker’s mark make this significantly more distinctive than an unidentified antique silver box.
