AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antique silver-gilt snuff box, finely crafted and richly decorated, dating to the second half of the 19th century (circa 1860–1890).
The rectangular box is made of solid silver (.800) with a gilt interior (vermeil). The exterior is extensively chased and embossed with dense floral and foliate decoration, framed by a continuous floral border. The sides feature a finely worked guilloché pattern.
The interior is fully gilt and smooth, consistent with its original use as a snuff box or small personal object container, rather than a vinaigrette.
Clear hallmarks are present, including the “.800” silver standard and official control marks, confirming production
Condition
Very good antique condition. Original gilding well preserved. Hinge intact and fully functional. Minor surface wear consistent with age and use.
Material: Solid silver (.800), gilt interior

Period: Second half of the 19th century
Style: Biedermeier / Historicist
A fine and decorative example of a 19th-century object of vertu, suitable for collectors of European silver.
