Small vintage pillbox in Mexican 925 silver, with a hexagonal base and geometric lines, featuring a hinged lid and front push closure. Its smooth, polished surface is distinguished by the simplicity of its forms and a rounded blue cabochon set in the center of the lid, secured in a bezel setting. 

Mexican silver piece attributed to Iguala de la Independencia, a city in the state of Guerrero located near Taxco, one of Mexico's major historic centers for silversmithing. The region developed a significant artisanal tradition during the 20th century, especially in the manufacture of jewelry and small silver objects. The "IGUALA MÉXICO 925 · IC-02" mark links this box to that silversmithing tradition, while its geometric design and blue cabochon reflect an aesthetic characteristic of small decorative accessories from the late 20th century.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.

We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.

If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
