A 19th century Continental multi colour gold and enamel snuff box, apparently unmarked, the cover with a central classical mask with drapery, swag and laurels on an engine turned geometric reeded background with formal leaf work border with white, blue and black enamel, the bordered base engine turned with a circular motif, the corners with similar enamelling, the interior with a later plate engraved ‘Peter from B.J-J and A. 10.3.32’, 9cm long by 6cm wide by 1.5 cm high. This box appears to have been a wedding gift to Peter Llewelyn Davies upon his marriage to the Hon. Margaret Leslie Hore-Ruthven on 10th March 1932. The Hon. Margaret Leslie ‘Peggy’ Hore-Ruthven was daughter of Walter Patrick Hore-Ruthven and was well known with her sister Alison, as ‘P and A’, The Ruthven Twins. Peter Llewelyn Davies was born in 1897 to Sylvia (née du Maurier) and Arthur Llewelyn Davies. During his childhood he and his brothers were befriended by J M Barrie and are widely accepted to be the basis of the characters in Barrie’s stories, the most famous being ‘Peter Pan’ which was premiered in 1904. In 1907 their father Arthur died and J M Barrie pledged to look after the boys and their mother. In quick succession the brothers also lost their mother and therefore in 1910 J M Barrie formally adopted them. After being educated at Eton Peter entered the army, winning the MC. In 1926 he set up his own publishing house. He became a respected figure in the publishing world but there continued to be the association with J M Barrie’s stories that couldn’t be shaken. He committed suicide in 1960 and there has been much speculation as to what degree the legacy of Peter Pan haunted him. Provenance: Acquired by the vendor’s family from Ruthven ‘Rivvy’ Barrie Llewelyn Davies. For a related item please see Lot 7
