AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vintage decorative shell-shaped box – 900 silver
Elegant small decorative box, made of 900 sterling silver, as seen by the mark visible on the base. The piece features a refined shell-like shape, with an organic and harmonious design, characteristic of European decorative silversmithing of the mid-20th century.
The exterior surface displays intricate relief work that highlights the natural lines of the shell, adding depth and an appealing visual effect. The interior is smooth, carefully finished, and preserves its original function as a box for small objects, jewelry, or personal items.
Based on the style, manufacturing technique, and typology, the piece could be located in Europe, with a possible Mediterranean influence; however, its aesthetics and execution more likely indicate European origin.
