About the Item

Late 19th Century Italian Silver Hallmarked Pill Box Beautiful and rare silver pill or tobacco pendant. It features an elegant and exclusive hand-nielloed motif on the upper part. Practical snap closure on the horizontal side. From ancient times until the beginning of this century, this type of accessory was collected with great success. The nobility and upper middle class made it a kind of status symbol, hanging it around their necks to use when needed. It bears various hallmarks indicating the purity of the silver and identifying the master goldsmith who created the beautiful floral motif. This artwork, never before on the market, comes from an important private collection Every item of our Gallery, upon request, is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by Sabrina Egidi official Expert in Italian furniture for the Chamber of Commerce of Rome and for the Rome Civil Courts.
