Two antique silver egg-shaped boxes for rosaries from the Netherlands, in good used condition with minor signs of aging, one (right) containing a rosary and with a button closure and about 4.5 cm high, the other (left) ribbed and about 5 cm high, dating to the early to mid 19th century and with decorative borders.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Two antique silver boxes in the shape of an egg. They were used for a rosary (the right one still has it). The left one with ribs and a height of 5 cm and a date letter that probably dates from the first half of the 19th century. The problem is that I can no longer open the box at all!!
The right-hand piece in good condition with snap closure and complete with (silver-plated?) rosary. Engraved meander border and ornaments on the sides. Height 4.5 cm. Marked with a small sword and a maker’s mark, but unclear—something like IH3.
