AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This refined box stands out for the precious silver-plated plaque set on the lid, entirely chased with a mastery that enhances its volumes and details.
In the center of the composition, the heraldic figure of a passant lion, symbol of strength and elegance, is embellished by a cobalt blue enamel background that is vibrant and bright, creating a striking color contrast with great visual impact.

The perimetral geometric decoration with settings and the triangular details at the corners evoke a classic, timeless style, almost medieval and noble in inspiration.

The engraved signature "Ottaviani" on the front of the plaque certifies its authenticity and collectible value.
The supporting structure is made of precious wood with warm, natural grain, perfect for safeguarding with style jewelry, watches, or small mementos.

Founded in the Marche region, Ottaviani workshops have represented the excellence of design and precious metal craftsmanship in Italy for generations. Choosing an Ottaviani object means owning a piece of the history of Italian silverware, renowned for meticulous detail and the highest quality execution. The jewelry box is presented in excellent aesthetic condition, with the enamel perfectly intact and the silver maintaining its original luster.

An exclusive piece of furniture for the bedroom or living area, ideal for collectors or as a gift of absolute prestige.
