Table cigarette box Silver Sterling Enamel two-tone striped guilloché Salimbeni.

About the Item

Exceptional table cigar or cigarette box in 925/1000 sterling silver, gold plated, and decorated with translucent two-tone striped fired enamels over guilloché engraving. Finely hand-engraved on all surfaces, this piece reflects the refined French Empire (Napoleon III) style, inspired by 19th-century decorative arts. The box features a semi-invisible “lost” hinge and spring-button opening, demonstrating both technical precision and refined design. Designed by Giorgio Salimbeni in 1976, it was entirely handcrafted in Florence at the Salimbeni atelier, using heavy-gauge sterling silver with reinforced structure—necessary to withstand multiple high-temperature enamel firings (approximately 750–800°C). Dimensions: 9 × 15 × 2 cm Weight: 497 g A superb example of Italian craftsmanship and artistry, merging traditional silversmith techniques with elegant, timeless design. It is new item never used but considering vintage. The hallmarks struck to the underside of this fine box include: manufacturer's mark: 391FI metal mark fineness: 925
