Antique pocket box made of silver, with a visible 800 hallmark and hand-engraved floral and vegetal decoration. Due to its dimensions and construction, it was probably used as a pillbox, snuff box, or small portable personal case.

The lid features a composition of dynamic leaves and curves commercially compatible with a historicist style inspired by Art Nouveau, although it does not correspond to a fully defined modernism. This type of floral and curvilinear language frequently appears in small decorative objects and personal accessories from the first third of the 20th century.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items. These are not new or recently manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, minor losses, or variations inherent to the passage of time. These characteristics are part of their nature and are not considered defects. We recommend carefully reviewing the photographs, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm a specific detail before purchasing, please contact us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken under artificial light. For this reason, the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is critical for you, we can send you additional photos taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the actual color.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces develop a patina over time. We don't remove it, as it's a natural process that can take decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the piece's aesthetic value and character.

If you decide to clean or polish, do so carefully and with the material in mind. The buyer should make this decision, as cleaning can affect the appearance, authenticity, and, in some cases, the value. If you need cleaning instructions based on the material, please contact us and we'll guide you.
