This oval silver tobacco box, dated 1700-1715, was created by Thomas Hartwell, a silversmith who worked in London. The box features an engraved coat of arms, likely belonging to Robert Yeff, for whom the box was made. This ornate piece of silver is a testament to the craftsmanship of English silversmiths during the early 18th century. The ornate engraved design and inscription make it a unique historical artifact. This box is a fine example of decorative silverwork from the period.
