Art Nouveau Pill Box in 925/- Silver Gold Plated
Initially, pillboxes were simple small boxes made of wood or sheet metal in which a supply of tablets could be transported hygienically and safely from loss. Later, there is historical evidence of silver and goldsmith's works of art for them. The shapes could be round, oval, heart-shaped or square.
Pretty pill box with relief decoration. Square form with hinged lid. Lid richly decorated with lush flowers and leaf decoration. A transverse oval medallion in the centre. The sides decorated with a relief of leaves and blossoms. Gilded interior. Made around 1900. Condition very good with age-related patina.
