Antique hallmarked silver chatelaine box, circular in shape, with a hinged lid and a suspension ring. It features elaborate relief floral and vegetal decoration, organized in a radial composition around an eight-pointed star. Stylized leaves, scrolls, and small floral motifs stand out against darkened backgrounds, with continuous ornamentation extending around the contour of the piece.

The interior has a gilded tone and retains vegetal motifs arranged in a composition similar to the exterior. These types of small boxes were part of early 20th-century accessories and could be carried suspended from a chatelaine or chain. Its Belle Époque-inspired decoration, with stylized vegetal elements, is consistent with French production from the first third of the 20th century.
