Lot 278
Aberdeen - a Scottish provincial gilt table snuff box by Peter Ross (possibly), marked PR struck twice, of rectangular outline, the hinged domed lid with foliate and S scroll border, the base with ovolo and S scroll foliate rim 8.5cm x 5.5cm x 3cm, 5.2oz Notes: The style and construction of this box has obviously been made to try and resemble the high quality examples being produced in Birmingham, by such prolific makers as Nathaniel Mills. The proportions and decoration, while a close copy, do not have the refined skills that these manufacturers had mastered. There has been some debate over the origin of this box and particularly the maker's marks. Items struck with maker's mark PR only (struck twice or thrice) are not rare within Scottish flatware, and are attributed to Peter Ross of Aberdeen. It has only been with the find of this box that this rule has been questioned. Ross while a prolific maker is not known for larger wares and indeed any hollowware by him is scarce, a box of the accomplished nature would seem to stretch the scope of his work. The other possible candidate for the box (and in some ways more likely) is Patrick Robertson of Edinburgh. It seems hard to believe he would have been the manufacturer of the extant body of pieces all struck makers mark only, when such a highly regarded Edinburgh silversmith and his work would have been under much closer control from the Assay office compared to a provincial counterpart.
