Table Box Sterling Silver Striped Paillons in pure Gold and flowers Salimbeni

About the Item

Round table box in 925/1000 sterling silver gold plated with fired enamels, with “paillons” in pure gold on the upper circle, fine floral miniature fired enamelled by the painter Renato Dainelli, enamelled border with vertical stripes. Napoleon III French Empire style. Dimensions: diameter cm. 7.5, height cm. 5.5. Weight gr. 380. Designed by Franco Salimbeni in 1967 and produced in Florence in a few specimens, with different colors and miniatures, in the Salimbeni company headquarters with manual workmanship by skilled artisan artists with thick slab and large reinforcements suitable for withstanding numerous enamelled firings at about 800° C. The paillons processing, now almost disappeared, and a rare technique recognized as a craft. Several layers of enamel are applied to the object, baked one by one in the oven. Afterwards, the designs cut out of thin gold leaves, the paillons foils, are applied one by one by hand to form the desired figure. These sheets are then in turn coated with a new layer of enamel, also baked and translucent, also baked and translucent, to protect and fix the paillons motif.
