AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
For sale: a refined antique rectangular desk box, a collectible piece ideal as a designer cigarette case, a desk tray, or a sought-after compartmentalized jewelry box. The external body and the movable lid are entirely made of solid 800 silver with a minimalist, geometric design inspired by Mid-Century aesthetics. As visible in the photo, the upper edge bears the original impressed hallmarks (800 fineness paired with the characteristic Italian lozenge of the period) certifying its authenticity and historic dating. The outer bottom of the box is lined with precious wood, a classic feature of antique silverware intended to give stability to the piece and prevent any abrasion or scratches on furniture surfaces. The interior offers a natural wood lining in warm tones, smooth and clean. Length: 16 cm
Width: 9 cm
Height: 1.8 cm (ultra-slim profile of great elegance)
Total weight: 247 grams (gross, including the wood finish)
Material of lid and body: 800 silver (hallmarked)
Excellent vintage condition: Solid item, lid straight and metal free of major structural dents. The silver surface displays its natural and beautiful patina of time; it can be easily polished to a mirror finish with specific products according to the buyer's preference. Hinges in perfect condition: opening and closing are smooth, firm and aligned. Interior in clean, sound, odor-free, and stain-free wood.
