Exquisite box, possibly Italian, made of 900 silver, signed with the hallmark “FCC” and numbered “246”. This elegant piece features an elaborate geometric design engraved with a three-dimensional effect, a decoration used by the Art Deco movement that predominated between 1920 and 1950.
The interlocking cube pattern creates an optical illusion of depth that perfectly captures the innovative spirit of the era. The edges are finely pearled, and the interior retains its original patina. The "900" silver hallmarks indicate its high purity, typical of Italian silverware from the mid-20th century.
During this era, these boxes were symbols of masculine refinement and were used in select social circles. Their functional and artistic design made them an indispensable accessory for the modern gentleman.
Today, this piece represents a perfect blend of history, design, and elegance. Ideal for collectors, decorators, or as a gift with character and vintage style.

What you are buying (important)
We sell antique and vintage items. These are not new or recently manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, minor losses, or variations inherent to the passage of time. These characteristics are part of their nature and are not considered defects. We recommend carefully reviewing the photographs, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm a specific detail before purchasing, please contact us.
Photos and color
The photographs are taken under artificial light. For this reason, the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is critical for you, we can send you additional photos taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the actual color.
Patina and cleaning
Many pieces develop a patina over time. We don't remove it, as it's a natural process that can take decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the piece's aesthetic value and character.
If you decide to clean or polish, do so carefully and with the material in mind. The buyer should make this decision, as cleaning can affect the appearance, authenticity, and, in some cases, the value. If you need cleaning instructions based on the material, please contact us and we'll guide you.
