This refined round box in embossed silver is an outstanding example of early 20th century craftsmanship, imported to France. The outside of the box is finely decorated with a romantic scene in relief, where a lady holds a lyre in an environment surrounded by elegant scrolls and floral motifs characteristic of the Victorian ornamental style, still popular in the early years of the 20th century. Marked with the prestigious poinçon de cygne (swan stamp). This stamp, introduced in 1864, was applied to silver objects imported into France from countries without customs agreements, confirming their foreign origin and authenticity on the French market. It also bears the letters "JR", the signature of the silversmith who made it, which adds historical value to this piece. Perfect for collectors of antiques, silverware or jewelry, and for those looking to gift a piece with a rich history and authenticity.
