About the Item

A striking silver and Lapis Lazuli decorative box, crafted in the Egyptian Revival style popular during the mid-20th century. The box features vivid deep blue lapis lazuli with gold accents and motifs, including a depiction of an ancient Egyptian figure in traditional attire. Gilt highlights and scattered gold inclusions create an opulent surface design. The box is further bordered by finely detailed silver edges. The underside bears a clear "Sterling" mark, confirming the silver content, and is likely produced for the American or international market. The design evokes mid-century fascination with ancient cultures, reflecting a blend of Hollywood glamour and classical revival aesthetics.
