Lot 399: A circular lithographed tin lid depicting an Edwardian garden party scene

A circular metal tin lid featuring a detailed lithographic illustration of an idyllic garden tea party. The scene depicts numerous figures in early 20th-century costume gathered around a table in a lush garden, with a large gabled manor house and a child flying a kite in the background. The composition includes dense foliage, trees, and floral borders throughout. The lid is finished with a raised rim in vibrant green. A white adhesive label is attached to the upper left section, printed with the text SHELBYS AUCTIONEERS, LOT, 399, and 01132502626. A second, smaller rectangular white sticker is affixed to the lower right with the handwritten characters 12870 in black ink. No maker’s name, trademark, or artist signature is visible on the surface of the lid.
