Box - Ointment / Vanity Art Deco - .925 silver - Guilloché Enamel

Sterling Silver Guilloché Enamel Ointment / Vanity Box – Art Deco – French Import Hallmark An elegant small Art Deco sterling silver circular ointment or vanity box, beautifully crafted in 925 sterling silver and decorated with exquisite guilloché enamel in soft grey-green and white concentric bands. The finely engine-turned decoration beneath the translucent enamel creates a captivating play of light and depth, while a matching guilloché enamel band encircles the side of the box, enhancing its refined geometric design. With its compact dimensions, this charming box was most likely intended for storing ointment, cream or balm making it a sophisticated accessory for a lady's dressing table during the early 20th century. Today it is equally desirable as a collector's piece or display object. The box is struck with a 925 sterling silver mark together with the ( i think ) attr. to French "charançon" (weevil) import hallmark, indicating that it was manufactured outside France and officially imported and assayed in France. The elegant guilloché enamel decoration and restrained geometric styling are characteristic of the Art Deco period, dating to approximately 1925–1940. Condition Very good antique condition with normal signs of age and careful use. Minor surface scratches and a few tiny enamel specks are present, consistent with age. Please study the photographs carefully, as they form an integral part of the description. In the photos, the green color looks darker than it is in reality. It is a light grey-green. Dimensions Diameter: approx. 2.7 cm Height: approx. 0.7 cm Weight: approx. 12 g A refined and highly decorative sterling silver guilloché enamel vanity box, combining elegant Art Deco aesthetics with fine craftsmanship and the added interest of official French import hallmarks.
