An identical box except with blue enamel was sold in these Rooms from The Charles H. Carpenter, Jr. Collection: 19th Century American Silver, January 21, 1994, lot 54.

Louis Comfort Tiffany's work in silver is extremely rare, as there are fewer than twenty silver objects known. See Charles H. Carpenter, Jr., "The Silver of Louis Comfort Tiffany," Antiques Magazine, February 1980; the related box is illustrated as plate I, p. 390.
