AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Particular and refined 800 silver pillbox signed Sardonà, Treviso, made in the shape of a turtle.
The object features a highly detailed three-dimensional workmanship: the carapace is entirely decorated with relief and engraving, with the individual plates of the shell carefully defined and enriched with incised motifs. The head, the four legs, and the tail are also molded with great care, giving the turtle a pleasing naturalistic appearance.
The upper carapace is openable and serves as the lid of the small box/pillbox; the interior is silver and preserves the natural marks due to use and time.
On the body the following mark is clearly present:
SARDONÀ
TREVISO
800
which identifies the manufacturer and the silver standard.
The surface shows a beautiful patina of time, particularly evident in the incised parts and reliefs, which highlights the rich decoration of the carapace.
Good vintage condition, with patina, tarnish, and signs of use consistent with age.
Measurements: 6x4x2 cm. Weight: 38.5 g.
