Silver Trinket Box with Putti Decoration

This antique trinket box is crafted from Continental 900 silver, featuring a beautifully repousse decorated lid and sides. The lid depicts a lively scene of putti, or cherubs, engaged in a playful activity, while the sides are adorned with floral and foliate motifs. The interior is gilded, providing a warm contrast to the bright silver exterior. Weighing 97.9g, this box is a charming example of silver craftsmanship.

Condition and Collector Appeal

The trinket box shows signs of age and use, with some minor wear and tarnish commensurate with its age. The interior gilding exhibits some wear. Despite this, the repousse work remains remarkably detailed and well-defined. This piece would appeal to collectors of antique silver, particularly those interested in boxes, cherub-themed items, or Continental silverwork.
