Description from the seller
Elegant centerpiece with a lid in Portuguese 833‰ silver, circular in shape, richly decorated with embossed floral and foliage motifs, revealing the quality and care of traditional Portuguese jewelry making.
The base features the Eagle contrast (1938-1984) for 833‰ silver, while the lid bears the Boar contrast (1887-1937), also for 833‰ silver, indicating that it is a lid adapted from an older piece, perfectly integrated into the set.

The decoration, executed by hand, presents flowers, roses and foliage in high-relief with excellent definition, giving it an elegant and timeless appearance.
