Pillbox - Silver

A breathtakingly beautiful antique silver pill box, representing the pinnacle of Belle Époque craftsmanship (c. 1910). This magnificent piece features a lid of exquisite mint-green/white guilloché enamel, serves as a canvas for a meticulously hand-painted scene of a vibrant blue butterfly fluttering among delicate pink roses and lush greenery. The box is crafted from high-grade 900 silver, boasting a substantial weight and impressive tactile quality. The sides are adorned with intricate engraved floral scrolls, while the interior is lavishly finished with a warm gold wash (vermeil). This rare and elegant vanity accessory is a masterwork of Central European enameling, likely originating from the workshops of Vienna or Pforzheim, making it a premier addition to any fine silver or antique enamel collection. Details Material: Silver (900) & Enamel Weight: 38.12 g Dimensions: 43 x 43 mm Height: 17 mm Style: Belle Époque / Late Art Nouveau Gemstone: Hand-Painted Enamel Hallmark: 900, Circle with "19" (likely a maker's or assay code) Note: We sell antique/vintage pieces of jewelry, so there might be some signs of wear due to their age. Please look at the photos carefully before placing a bid! Note: All items are photographed in a light box under strong lighting to ensure clear detail and color accuracy. However, please note that colors may appear slightly different on screen due to lighting conditions and individual device displays. Shipping: Your item will be packed securely and sent with registered and insured shipping via DHL. As a standard procedure, we send out all objects within 1 or 2 days after receiving confirmation from Catawiki. However, we'd like to clarify that the delivery timeline from our end to your doorstep depends entirely on DHL (German Post), we have no influence on the delivery time; it all depends on DHL and the destination country/city.
