Antique Tiffany & Co. presentation box, the cream silk lid printed in gilt Tiffany & Co., New York, Paris, London, in an ivory covering.
The three city imprint dates the box to the period when Tiffany kept its European branches, and it is the detail a collector looks for on an early case. The covering is ivory throughout rather than the blue the house later standardised, and the interior is fitted with a domed cream velvet pad under the printed silk lid.
