About the Item
Art Nouveau Jewel: Guilloché Enamel
Hand-Painted Pill Box by Giorgio Salimbeni, 1977
This exceptional oval pill box is a masterful synthesis of two revered decorative arts: the precise science of guilloché enamel and the free-flowing poetry of hand-painted miniature work. Designed by Giorgio Salimbeni in 1977, each facet of this object showcases the pinnacle of Florentine craftsmanship, realized entirely by hand at the historic Salimbeni atelier.
The gold-plated sterling silver case features a radiant ground of translucent fired enamel over a finely engraved guilloché pattern, a technique requiring multiple high-temperature firings near 800° C. To withstand this intense process, artisans constructed the box from a high-thickness silver plate with significant reinforcements, ensuring both structural integrity and a flawless, jewel-like surface.
Centered upon this luminous field is a delicate hand-painted floral miniature, executed in the romantic, organic spirit of Art Nouveau. This painterly detail transforms the piece from a mere container into a wearable work of art—a tiny, private gallery of exquisite beauty.
