LOT NUMBER 9
Egyptian Silver Pill Box with Mother of Pearl Inlay, marked, second half C20th
An oval silver box and cover, the lid with an inlaid mother of pearl design comprising geometric shapes which combine to produce a 3D ‘trompe l’oeil’ effect of solid shapes within a rope twist border, the exterior of the lid with a small stamped mark and the interior of the box with three small stamped marks. The markings here, which can be seen on other examples indicate that we have Egyptian work and there are a fair number of similar silver boxes but more commonly in a round shape. They are usually dated to the mid twentieth century and indeed the central flower mark seen here indicates that this piece was made after 1946 and the date lettering at the right indicates circa 1950. The quality of the craftsmanship is obvious and the form and decoration make this a highly desirable collector’s item.| Size: | Width 3.8cm, Depth (max) 2.6cm, Ht (max) 2cm |
| Weight: | 15gm |
| Date: | c1950 |
