AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pair of 925 sterling silver pill/snuff boxes pocket jewelry boxes, massiccio, with monograms – Argenteria Ganci, Milan (110 MI) – 70 g
In this auction is an elegant pair of circular-shaped pill boxes (or small pocket jewelry boxes) made entirely of solid 925 sterling silver. Both pieces bear the hallmark 110 MI, attributing the manufacture to the renowned Argenteria Ganci of Milan, one of the historic and most esteemed names in Milanese silver design and craftsmanship of the 20th century.
The items stand out for a classic, minimalist, domed design, featuring smooth surfaces with high gloss. Each lid is adorned with a refined two-letter monogram, punched in a buleto (engraved) style with classical/Liberty fonts:
• The first box bears the initials "SA".
• The second box bears the initials "GV".
As a testament to superior craftsmanship, the punches (both the “925” fineness and the maker’s mark “110 MI”) are replicated on both the lid and the inner rim of each box, ensuring the metal’s integrity and purity in every component of the object. Collectible items ideal as pocket accessories, for travel, or as refined vintage desk accessories.
The objects are structurally sound and fully functional in their closing mechanisms. aesthetically, they show widespread small scratches on the silver patina due to age and use. Additionally, there is a small dent (bottarella) on the domed edge of one of the two boxes (visible in the detailed photo). Please carefully view the photo gallery, which is an integral and essential part of the description.
Seller's Story
For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era.
Every piece I select has something that catches my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual aspect, or simply that detail that makes it unique.
I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen.
I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible.
Selling on this Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
