Description from the seller
900-silver pill box in the shape of a purse – Ottoman Empire, 19th century
The item is adorned on the front with a central medallion finely chiselled with stylized floral decoration, highlighted by partial gilding in damascening, surrounded by a double raised twist giving volume to the piece.
The lid is hinged by a discreet hinge and closes perfectly.
The bottom of the box is plain, while the interior bears the “900” hallmark attesting to the silver content.
The engraving work, blending decorative reliefs and hammered textures, testifies to refined craftsmanship, halfway between a utilitarian object and a piece of adornment. This type of pill box could contain seals, kohl, or small relics.
