AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Refined spherical box made of solid silver 975 – handmade in repoussé – interior lined with precious wood, weight 50 g
Magnificent example of silversmithing, characterised by the rare purity of 975 silver. The intricacy of the decoration attests to craftsmanship from bygone eras. The globular form is harmonious and rests on a decorative round foot. 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 and perfectly formed. This feature, typical of high-quality objects, served to protect the contents (often jewelry or fine tobacco) and to preserve the integrity of the metal.
