AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Powder box in 800 silver, repoussé and chased, Late 19th Century

Round powder box, made in solid 800 silver, dating to the late nineteenth century. This piece exemplifies the exquisite craftsmanship of the period, with rich all-around decoration.
The hinged lid is the real centerpiece, adorned with a profusion of intricate foliate scrolls, stylized flowers, and cartouche motifs framing a central basket overflowing with flowers and fruit. This decoration is executed with high-relief repoussé and chasing techniques, creating a deep, tactile texture with a dynamic play of light and shadow. The details are sharp and well defined, testimony to the silversmith's skill. A delicate lattice incision on a central band adds a touch of geometric elegance.
The lid edge and the body of the box are decorated with a continuous floral and foliate garland motif, echoing the central theme and framing the entire piece.
