Ottaviani Italian Mid-Century Sterling Silver Lidded Box with Shell Décor, 1960s

About the Item

Wonderful Italian Mid-Century Modern wooden box with Sterling silver lid. The sterling silver lid 925 is masterfully decorated with an abstract view of the shore – you see the waves of the sea, the bubbles which are crated when the sea meets the sand, and a masterfully executed shell (sublimely executed) is visible. The entire design language is typical of the mid-century. The wooden box (nutwood) is marked with 925 for sterling silver and ottaviani. The box is in particularly good condition, please examine the photos. Measurements approx.: height 2,36 in – 6 cm, width 10,74 in – 27,3 cm, depth 5,59 in – 14,2 cm. Ottaviani (1945) is a jewelry and silver firm located in the small seaside town in Italy. They had a particularly inventive period from the mid 1950s until about 1979 when they produced wonderful designs in silver and sometimes with enamel.
