Up for bid is a vintage European 800 silver lidded canister
box with fluted sides. The piece is 3 inches tall by 2 3/8 inches wide and
weighs 135 grams. It is hexagonal in
form, with a hinged lid and fluted sides.
The lid top is decorated with flat-chased scrolls, and there are stamped
florets on the side ribs. The interior
is gilded. It has not been monogrammed. It is marked “800”, with a separate mark of a
serpent in a triangle. It may be
Italian.
Condition on the box is good. There are a few shallow dents in the foot,
but otherwise just normal wear. A nice
piece!
