A Trio of Decorative Silver-Toned Metal Jewellery and Trinket Boxes - A collection of three silver-toned metal boxes of varying designs. The first is a large rectangular jewellery box, likely of South Asian origin, featuring dense repousse and chased floral, foliate, and geometric decoration to all exterior surfaces. The box is fitted with a gold-toned metal three-dial combination lock to the front. The red velvet-lined interior is designed for bangle storage and includes multiple rows of assorted bangles in glass, metal, and rhinestone-set styles. The underside of the lid features four hooks and a gathered storage pocket. The second item is a medium-sized white metal jewellery box with similar ornate floral decoration. The hinged lid opens to reveal a cantilever mechanism with four upper square compartments and two lower rectangular sections, all lined in purple velvet, with a small rectangular mirror inset to the lid. The third item is a rectangular box, possibly a cigarette or vanity box, with an engine-turned textured finish and polished edges. The lid features a central rectangular cartouche engraved with the name CECIL. The box is supported by four small bracket feet and features a simple thumbpiece for opening. No hallmarks or maker's marks are visible on any of the items. Large box: 27 cm x 19 cm x 11 cm Cantilever box: 23 cm x 16.5 cm x 11 cm Engine-turned box: 14 cm x 11 cm x 3 cm.
