ABOUT PRODUCTID 41741
This round pill box, dating from the early 20th century, is crafted from 925 silver with a gold-plated interior. Its compact, cylindrical body is secured by a discreet, precisely engineered hinge. The lid stands out with hand-painted enamel featuring a bouquet of roses in pastel tones of pink, white, yellow, and green. The smooth, polished silver surface contrasts with the iridescent, glossy enamel, giving depth and vibrancy to the floral motif. The base is marked with clear Austro-Hungarian silver hallmarks and British export marks from Birmingham, attesting to the item's authenticity and international provenance. Measuring 5.8 cm in diameter and 2.5 cm in height, the box demonstrates both practicality and jeweler's precision. It remains in very good condition, with no damage or restoration traces; the silver is clean, and the enamel painting is intact.This is an object that tells the story of a turn-of-the-century era: its form echoes the spirit of Art Nouveau, while the hand-painted roses evoke the delicate, fleeting charm of the belle époque. Every detail—from the lustrous silver to the subtle rose on white enamel—recalls a time when everyday accessories became miniature works of art. The box could almost whisper
