An antique shell-shaped box made of 800 silver with contrasting hand-embossed decoration that reproduces the natural relief of the mollusk. It consists of two symmetrical halves joined by a hinge that allows it to be fully opened and access to an interior with a practical compartment.
The interior is decorated with the same radial pattern as the exterior, suggesting careful and symmetrical craftsmanship in both its design and execution. This small box could have been used to store small personal mementos.
The shell was a recurring motif in the design of Victorian-inspired decorative objects due to its symbolism linked to travel, rebirth, and femininity. The 800 silver used in this piece was common in continental Europe; this piece is Italian.
Ideal as a collectible, special gift, or symbolic accessory, this silver shell is an object full of meaning and functional beauty.
