Description from the seller
935 Silver Miniature Box with a Heart Decoration and Greek Key (Meander) – Germany, 20th Century
Elegant miniature box crafted in 935 sterling silver, a traditional alloy commonly used in high-quality German and Central European jewellery making. The piece features a refined neoclassical-inspired design, combining ornamental decorative elements with a composition of strong visual balance.
The lid is adorned with a central motif in the shape of a stylized heart, surrounded by delicate scrolls and vegetal elements. The body incorporates an elegant Greek key frieze (meander), a classical geometric motif inspired by antiquity and later popularized by luxury decorative designs.
The interior has a gold finish, creating an attractive contrast with the oxidized exterior and highlighting its decorative character even more.
