A guilloche enameled pill box designed by David Andersen. Extremely rare early 20th century enamel pill-box, created in Norway during the late Edwardian and art nouveau period at the workshop of David Andersen, circa 1910. This beautiful box was carefully crafted with impeccable details in solid .925/.999 standard silver with gilded interiors finish. Made of rectangular form with curved edges and fitted with a five barrels hinged lid, that can be raised by a simple thumbpiece. Engine turned guilloche decoration topped with applications of translucent silvered-white and light purple enamels and finally embellished with tiny flowers motifs decorations in high relief. Weight: 59.40 Grams, (38.08 Dwt). Measurements: 65 mm by 38 mm and a height of 13 mm (2.56 x 1.50 x 0.51 Inches). Hallmarks: Stamped with French and Norwegian marks, the maker's mark associated to David Andersen inside a cartouche, the mark for the assay of the silver S .925 and stamped twice with the French import mark of the swan, for importation. Very interesting exports and imports marks. Note: The hallmark of a swan facing to the left inside an oval (Osprey-124), was introduced in 1893 for small silver items imported into France. The silver product need to have at least a standard assay of .800/999 or over. The swan mark indicates that the item was produced in a non-treaty country and served as an import identification. The swan mark used until 1970.

This is the exceedingly rare Royal Norwegian Order of Saint Olav presented to actress and Oscar Winner Celeste Holm. The medal is housed in the original case which is signed on the bottom by Celeste Holm. The medal is virtually never available for purchase as it is treasured by the rarified group of recipients who have received it. The Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav (Den Kongelige Norske St. Olavs Orden), was presented to Celeste Holm when she was Knighted by King Olav V of Norway in 1977. Celeste Holm was of Norwegian descent. The Order of St. Olav is the highest civilian honor currently conferred by Norway. The Grand Master of the order is the reigning monarch of Norway. The medal is awarded to reward individuals for remarkable accomplishments on behalf of the country and humanity. The medal is silver gilt with white and red enamel hung from the original ribbon pin. The medal of the Order is a white enameled Maltese Cross. Crowned monograms of King Olav "O" appear between the arms of the cross. The central disc is red with the golden Norwegian lion bearing a battle-axe; the reverse bears the motto of King Oscar "Ret og Sandhed" – "Justice and Truth." The cross is topped by an enameled crown. The medal itself is 2 1/2 inches long and is 1 3/4 inches wide. With the ribbon the medal is 4 inches long. The medal is slightly rubbed on the verso. The case is marked by the maker "J. Tostrup." Celeste Holm (April 29, 1917 – July 15, 2012) was an American stage, film and television actress.
