About the Item

Immerse yourself in timeless elegance with this rectangular pill box, featuring two subtly rounded sides. Crafted from 925/1000 gold-plated sterling silver, it boasts a hand-painted miniature of a sailing ship, evoking the George V English style of the late 19th century. Measuring 4.5 x 4.5 x 1.2 cm and weighing 73 grams, it’s a piece that speaks volumes about sophistication and refinement. Designed by Franco Salimbeni in 1976, it draws inspiration from ancient artefacts and is meticulously produced at the Salimbeni headquarters in Florence. Available in various colors and miniatures, each box is a testament to the skill of artisan artists. Using a high-thickness slab with substantial reinforcements, these pill boxes endure numerous high-fire enamel firings at approximately 750-800°C. This is not merely a container; it is a symbol of art, history, and unmatched craftsmanship. 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
