About the Item

Fine Antique Swiss 18kt Gold Engine-Turned & Chased Rectangular Box — French Import Marks An impressive antique 18kt gold rectangular box featuring exceptional engine-turned guilloché decoration combined with finely hand-chased foliate borders. The top is framed with lavish acanthus leaf motifs surrounding a central cartouche panel with intricate diamond patterning. The sides and edges are equally ornate, reflecting the fine craftsmanship of the period. This example is a superb showcase of 19th-century decorative goldwork, both elegant and refined in execution. The interior is beautifully polished, retaining its rich patina and sheen. Hallmarks & Origin: Stamped with a bear hallmark, a Swiss hallmark for 18kt gold used between 1880–1933, commonly for export. Additional French import marks visible (the diamond-shaped mark), typically used when Swiss pieces were retailed or sold in France. Other assay and maker's marks present, but partially worn — consistent with period use. This combination of Swiss and French marks strongly suggests Swiss craftsmanship, retailed or imported into France, most likely dating late 19th to early 20th century. Weight: 86.49 grams Dimensions: 8.1 cm (width) 4.9 cm (depth) 1.4 cm (height) Condition: Excellent antique condition with light surface wear consistent with age. Hinges and closure in good working order.
