About the Item

Monumental guilloche enameled round box. An extraordinary early 20th century guilloche enamel box, created in Pforzheim Germany, with Edwardian neo classical patterns, circa 1910. This beautiful, oversized box was carefully crafted with impeccable details in solid .935/.999 standard silver with gilt interior finish. Made of circular shape and embellished with magnificent engine turned guilloche decorations. The lid and the sides are applied with translucent royal blue enamel and encircled by four concentric frames of white enamel. The bottom is not enameled. The engraved designs of guilloche are magnificent. Created in the form of eight laurels with striped lines from the center. The sides are decorated with multiple horizontal curved lines. This craftmanship of this box is superb and is by far one of the best examples we have ever seen. A fact that we want to point out is that the enamel is quite thick which creates a visual effect of depth and iridescence. Weight: 530.20 Grams, (339.87 Dwt) or 17.046326 Troy Ounces. Measurements: Diameter of 128.2 mm and a height of 45 mm (5.05 x 1.77 Inches). Hallmarks: No marks, tested for .935/.999 silver. The Edwardian Era Like the Georgian and Victorian eras before it, derives its name from the reign of the English King, Edward VII (1901-1910). Edwardian jewelry is known for representing femininity while incorporating a lot of the color white. Think diamonds, pearls and white metals like platinum and white gold. Diamonds often had an Old Mine or European cut and sapphires were a popular choice for a pop of color. They tended to be made from platinum and diamonds – the more, the merrier – and used fashionable, intricate techniques such as filigree and millegrain. Edwardian rings are works of art and best worn alone or alongside a simple wedding band. Millegraining, a new decorative technique made possible by the use of platinum, is featured often on Edwardian jewelry. Its border of delicate balls and ridges surrounding a gemstone or on the knife sharp edges of a design served to give jewelry a softer, lighter look. Guilloché Is a term used in fine jewelry or objects de vertu to enhance the appearance of boxes, frames, brooches, rings or pendants. Guilloché enamel refers to metal pieces that have been given the Guilloché treatment and then covered with a translucent layer of enamel, giving the geometric patterns underneath the enamel a colorful hue. Condition: The overall condition of this box is excellent. Beside the little normal wear, there is no trace of wear to the silver. The enamel shine and is secured in the settings. This piece has been carefully inspected to guarantee the condition and authenticity. INVENTORY REF: D071723EANH/15.88
