Antique 1909 Blue Enamel Silver Box Signed “Monk Wien”
About the Item
A Rare Keepsake from Early 20th-Century Europe
Infuse your collection with old-world charm through this antique silver box, dated February 11, 1909, and adorned with rich blue enamel. Signed “Monk Wien”, this piece stands as a testament to the refined craftsmanship and elegant design that characterized early 20th-century European silverwork.
Blue Enamel Detailing
The lid and possibly other surfaces feature a deep, vivid blue enamel that shimmers in the light, providing a striking contrast to the cool hue of the silver.
Signed “Monk Wien”
The signature underscores its Austrian (Vienna) origin and authenticity. Known for its master silversmiths and enamel artisans, Vienna has a storied reputation in producing exquisite decorative objects.
Early 1900s Date
Inscribed with the date “11 February 1909,” this box captures a historical moment in time, adding sentimental and collectible value.
Silver Construction
Constructed from high-quality silver (purity unverified in the information provided), this piece has a gentle patina consistent with its age. The timeless design and durable metal ensure it will remain a treasured item for generations.
Why Choose This Enamel Silver Box?
Historic Provenance
Dating back to 1909, the box offers a tangible connection to Europe’s rich artistic heritage and a glimpse into the craftsmanship of the early 20th century.
Vibrant Enamel Work
Blue enamel over silver conjures a luxurious, vintage feel—ideal for collectors of antique silverware or decorative art.
Versatile Usage
Whether displayed as a standalone showpiece or used to safeguard small keepsakes, its compact form and elegant finish make it both practical and decorative.
Suggested Care
Cleaning
Gently wipe the enamel and silver surfaces with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or submersion in water to protect the enamel’s integrity and the silver’s finish.
Storage
Keep in a padded box or protective pouch to prevent scratches or damage. Occasional light polishing of the silver (with an appropriate silver cleaner) may be necessary to maintain its shine, but be cautious around the enamel.
Embrace a piece of Austrian heritage with this 1909-dated blue enamel silver box—where time-honored elegance meets lasting artistry, ready to enrich your collection or elevate any refined décor.
