Dish - Silverplated - Bonbon in relief/repoussé

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 pierced 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.
