AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A rare and exceptional Portuguese silver eagle box, masterfully crafted in 925 sterling silver and weighing 35 grams. This highly ornamented piece showcases the refinement of traditional Portuguese filigree work, elevating it to a true collector’s treasure.

The box is crowned with a finely detailed eagle, symbolizing strength, protection, and nobility, executed with remarkable precision and sculptural clarity. Surrounding and supporting the form, intricate hand-woven filigree spreads across the surface in dense floral and scroll patterns, demonstrating extraordinary craftsmanship and attention to detail. Every curve and openwork element reflects the light, creating depth, delicacy, and visual richness.

Both decorative and functional, this piece balances elegance with presence. The elaborate ornamentation, combined with the rarity of the filigree technique, makes this silver eagle box an outstanding example of Portuguese silversmith heritage.

Timeless, refined, and unmistakably artisanal, it is ideal for discerning collectors, connoisseurs of fine European silver, or as a distinguished statement piece.
