AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful silver 1890-1910 Jugendstil/Art Nouveau pillbox with a bunch of cherries and floral motifs + hanging loop. The inside is lightly gold-plated. Marked: 800. N.B. Cherries often signify love, passion, youth, innocence, and seduction, but the symbolism varies: sweet cherries stand for happiness and new beginnings, while in emojis cherries can also refer to breasts. Symbolically it also represents femininity, fertility, and the loss of innocence.
