Swedish silver pill box with gilt interior - Hjalmar Jonasson, ca. 1920
A minimalist silver pill box reflecting the restrained and functional aesthetic of early 20th-century Swedish design.
Its undecorated form emphasizes balance, practicality, and material quality, characteristic of Scandinavian silverwork of the period.
Made of 830 silver, with a gilt interior, a common period feature serving both protective and decorative purposes.
Crafted by Hjalmar Jonasson, a Swedish silversmith active in the early 20th century, known through surviving utilitarian silver objects rather than large-scale documented commissions.
The piece dates to the first third of the 20th century, around 1920.
The Swedish hallmarks on the rim clearly confirm both origin and silver fineness.
Dimensions:
– Width: 5.4 cm
– Height: 1.3 cm
– Weight: 16.6 g
Well preserved, with light, age-appropriate signs of use.
