About the Item
An exceptional and fine antique French silver mounted mother of pearl box and with an exquisitely carved ducal with a maiden holding a coronet, elaborate monogram and a rod of Caduceus dating from circa 1800. The rectangular shaped box is beautifully made with polished panels of mother of pearl set within a silver metal framework attached with small silver metal pins and with a hinged cover. The panels have a fine patterned finish with the top with a relief carved ducal.
The caduceus is the traditional symbol of Hermes and features two snakes winding around a winged staff. It is often used as a symbol of medicine.
The box is offered in fine condition with a very small ding to the edge of the cover and with wear commensurate with age and use.
