About the Item

We are delighted to offer this stunning solid silver-gilt cylindrical box made in France, c.1890. The box features a two-piece pull-off lid design with a fully girl interior and exterior (gold over solid silver). In addition to its opulent gold colour, its entirety has been finely decorated with French engine turning/guilloché design, which presents a gorgeous sheen and unique reflection which accentuates its beauty. Furthermore, the pattern is complemented with a dotted design and embellished borders around the edges. The box has a lovely feel in hand and with ergonomic proportions. Upon opening and closing the lid, its quality is further apparent with an excellent flush fit and tight closure. Overall, a stunning piece of fine French 19th-century silver giltware, ideal for box collections or as a spectacular one-off accenting piece in a collection or interior setting. Furthermore, owing to its versatile shape and size, it could be used to hold small items, sweets, mints, medication or even as a small jewel box. The box is marked with French hallmarks on both ends with 950 minerva marks. *Please note: all images with other items are for display purposes only, this listing is for the title item only.
