Description from the seller

Lot of three silver boxes

The lot consists of three decorative silver boxes, worked, of different shapes and makers.

The first piece is shaped like an apple with a smooth, mirror-polished surface, adorned with finely modeled leaf and stem.

The second is shaped like a naturalistic chestnut, finely hand-chased with veins and undulating surfaces that realistically reproduce the fruit's structure.

The third, with a classic taste, is a cylindrical box with a domed lid and concentric grooved motifs, culminating in a turned top knob.

One small box bears no hallmark and has been acid-tested. The test was positive.

Objects presumably intended to hold pills, tablets, or small personal items, testify to different decorative interpretations of 20th-century table and dressing silverware.

NB: The apple-shaped box has defects highlighted in the photos. The other two are in excellent condition.

6 g Dimensions: 4 x 3 x 3 mm
27 g Dimensions: 6 x 49 x 49 mm
16 g Dimensions: 41 x 36 x 24 mm

Tracked shipping and professional packaging.
