About the Item

Art déco Trompe L'œil enamelled box A stunning decorative box, created in Switzerland during the art deco period, back in the 1925. This superb elegant box is closely to mint condition, rare and was carefully crafted in solid .935/.999 silver with high polished finish, Exceptional workmanship as you expect with remarkably realistic faux malachite enameled panels This superlative box is gently domed top having a chamfered edge inlaid with black enamel. Sophisticated self-stopping rectangular hinge with interior lip, hinge barrel and lid with polished and matte gold vermeil finishes. The interiors are lined up with thin panels of cedar wood and the bottom panel is impressed with faux leather grain secured within a silver border. Weight: 284.20 Grams, (182.18 Dwt). Measurements: 94 mm by 78 mm by 38 mm (3.70 x 3.07 x 1.50 Inches). Hallmarks: Stamped twice with French import marks of the Swan, the Swiss maker's mark HB inside an oval cartouche, the mark for the silver assay 935 and signed in the border, "HB .935". Note: The hallmark of a swan facing to the left inside an oval (Osprey-124), was introduced in 1893 for small silver items imported into France. The silver product need to have at least a standard assay of .800/999 or over. The swan mark indicates that the item was produced in a non-treaty country and served as an import identification. The swan mark used until 1970. Note: Trompe L'œil, in French for 'deceive the eye', is an artistic term for the highly realistic optical illusion of three-dimensional space and objects on a two-dimensional surface. Trompe l'œil, which is most often associated with painting, tricks the viewer into perceiving painted objects or spaces as real. Forced perspective is a related illusion in architecture or materials. Condition: The overall condition of this box is impeccable. Beside the little normal wear, there is no damage to the silver. The enameled parts are secured in the settings. This piece has been carefully inspected to guarantee the condition and authenticity. INVENTORY REF: D061123STRJ/8.516.
