AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Refined spherical case in solid 975 silver – repoussé artisanal workmanship – interior in precious wood, weight 50 g

Magnificent example of silverwork, characterized by the rare purity of 975 silver. The density of the decoration testifies to craftsmanship from another era. The globular shape is harmonious and rests on a decorated circular base. The lid, perfectly integrated into the design, is crowned by an elegant pinecone knob, a symbol of hospitality and prosperity.

The interior is lined with solid wood, perfectly shaped. This feature, typical of high-end objects, served to protect the contents (often jewelry or fine tobaccos) and to preserve the integrity of the metal.
