Description from the seller
This vintage Italian silver-plated bonbonnière(covered candy dish or trinket box) captivates with its exceptional pierced openwork design: elaborate floral scrolls, acanthus motifs, and a striking central raised floral cluster knop on the lid.
The scalloped rim and finely embossed/repoussé details create a luxurious, Baroque-inspired aesthetic—truly special and eye-catching, ideal for elegant table settings, jewelry storage, or as a standout decorative piece.
Markings: Argentato 1000 (Arg./1000 or Arg 1000) – this classic Italian designation signifies high-quality silver plate(electroplated with a thick layer of pure silver, "1000/1000" fineness in the plating, over base metal; not solid silver).
Common on mid-20th century Italian holloware, often crafted for export with durable, lustrous plating.
Dimensions: Diameter 19.5 cm, height 9 cm (including lid).
Weight: 312 grams.
Condition: Good vintage overall; light age-appropriate wear, patina, and warm golden interior tone from base metal. The intricate pie Red lid remains fully intact.(see detailed photos).
This is no ordinary silver plate item: the heavy weight, detailed craftsmanship, and rare pierced floral design elevate it beyond standard pieces, appealing to discerning collectors of vintage Italian tableware, ornate silver plate, or mid-century European decor.
A beautiful, collectible treasure with timeless charm!
Shipment: Will be packed with special care.
