About the Item

A guilloche and enameled bombe round box. This is a superb and fabulous enameled box, created in the city of Pforzheim Germany in the early 20th century, back in the 1910. This beautiful box was carefully crafted in the Edwardian Belle-Epoque style, with impeccable details in solid .900/.999 standard silver and finished with yellow gold gilt interiors. The box is circular with a lid bombe-shape and is fitted with four-barrels hinged lid raised by a simple thumbpiece. The circular sides are decorated with engine turned guilloche decorations which is topped with applications of translucent very light greenish enamel. The lid is decorated with the portrait bust of a full-dressed lady in high couture, wearing a flamboyant hat touched with an exuberant bow. Pforzheim The city of Pforzheim has been the center of the German enamellers, jewelry makers, watch, and clock industry since the 18th century. Pforzheim is a city of over 125,000 inhabitants in the federal state of Baden-Württemberg, in the southwest of Germany. It is known for its jewelry and watch-making industry, and as such has gained the nickname "Goldstadt" ("Golden City"). Weight: 134.35 Grams, (86.13 Dwt). Measurements: Diameter of 80 mm and a height of 27 mm (3.15 x 1.06 Inches). Hallmarks: Stamped with German post 1886 marks, the mark of the crescent and the crown for the assay and warranty of the silver and the national export mark .900 for the silver standards. Edwardian Period This period was during the King Edward VII, after whom this period of jewelry history is named, reigned over England for only nine years, yet the style of jewelry known as “Edwardian” was created roughly between 1890 and 1920. Edwardian-era rings tend to be larger, opulent pieces, and stacked ring designs were popular. The metal surfaces of the rings were often diamond-encrusted for additional shimmer. Each of these rings is a work of art, showcasing a bygone era of grace, elegance and the royalty the Edwardian era is named for. Guilloché This is a term used in fine jewelry or object's de Vertu to enhance the appearance of boxes, frames, brooches, rings or pendants. Guilloché enamel refers to metal pieces that have been given the Guilloché treatment and then covered with a translucent layer of enamel, giving the geometric patterns underneath the enamel a colorful hue. Collateral: It is accompanied by a presentation jewelry pouch. Condition: The overall condition of this box is excellent. Beside the little normal wear, there is no trace of wear to the silver. The enamel is perfect and secured in the surfaces. This box has been carefully inspected to guarantee the condition and authenticity. INVENTORY REF: D052824SMAG/3.875
