ABOUT PRODUCTID 12671
This eclectic pill box from 19th-century Poland, attributed to the Bronowski workshop, is crafted from brass finished with a layer of silver. Its surface displays a balanced interplay of muted, matte-finished silver, softly punctuated by underlying golden brass tones where the silvering has naturally worn away with age. The construction features a simple cylindrical body topped by a domed lid, which fits snugly over a pronounced collar subtly decorated with delicate, circular ribs—details repeated at the lid’s base. Apart from these refined structural grooves, the overall design eschews ornamentation, staying true to the understated aesthetic of utilitarian 19th-century eclecticism. The finish reveals evidence of hand or small-scale workshop craftsmanship: gentle scratches, irregular textures, distinct patina, and subtle discolorations offer an authentic map of natural aging. The item is preserved in good condition, structurally intact with genuine patina, minor abrasions, and darkened areas typical for antique metal surfaces.Within this modest vessel, one hears echoes of 19th-century Polish workshops: a utilitarian tool, needing no embellishment beyond its function. The silver plating, now gently variegated, has matured into a discreet dignity over time, conjuring days when opening the box was as much a practical act as a private ritual. Matte, diffused light traces the pill box’s surface,
