Italy – 20th century. 240 g of silver
Elegant solid 800 silver box crafted by the renowned Florentine house Brandimarte, famed for the quality of its silversmithing and its creations inspired by Italian historical objects.

High-quality artisanal craftsmanship
Signature and markings visible on the piece
Stamp “800” attesting to 80% silver purity
Estimated period: late 20th century
Detailed description

Solid and practical closure
Very beautiful hammered finish with polished surface
Robust and uniform construction
Lovely decorative presence
This piece perfectly illustrates Brandimarte’s style, which regularly revisits Italian historical and military objects with noble materials and a high-end finish.
Comparison between the original military model and the Brandimarte version
Original military model:
Industrial manufacturing
Usually made of aluminum or steel
Strictly utilitarian use on the field
Value mainly historical or military
Brandimarte version:
High-quality artisanal craftsmanship
Solid 800 silver
Decorative and collectible object
Signed by a recognized silversmith house
High-end positioning in the Italian decorative art market
Thus, the value of this piece lies not only in its military inspiration but also in the craftsmanship, the noble material used, and Brandimarte’s signature.
Condition
Very good overall condition
Slight signs of use consistent with age and handling
Subtle superfical micro-scratches
No significant deformations
Very attractive display for a showcase, a collection of revisited military objects, or a classic Italian-style interior
