Description from the seller

This is a beautiful piece of European silverware, with the following main characteristics:

• Year: Approximately between 1880 and 1920 (the period between Historicism and Art Nouveau).
• Type of Item: An oval snuff box or pill-case, decorated with scroll motifs, flowers, and a radiant geometric pattern on the sides.

Weight: 28 g
