Ottaviani - Box - .925 silver - Playing card holder, 925

925 sterling silver playing card box, Ottaviani, 1970s
Piece of rare elegance signed Ottaviani, a historic Roman manufactory synonymous with excellence in Italian silverware since the postwar era.
The lid is entirely covered by a fine 925 silver plaque worked in relief, depicting an enigmatic Jolly with a bells- hat, surrounded by the four suits — hearts, spades, clubs and diamonds — in a visually striking graphic composition. The satin matte finish is original and intentional, a distinctive hallmark of Ottaviani style, granting the piece a sober and sophisticated charm.
The structure is made of precious wood with an interior divided into practical compartments, capable of holding multiple decks of cards.
An object that combines functionality and decorative art, perfect for the refined collector or as a bold piece of furniture with strong character.
