About Artwork: 

This circa 1950 decorative silver box represents the rich tradition of Indian silversmithing, having once belonged to the distinguished royal Vizianagram family. The piece exemplifies the significant role silver objects played in noble Indian households, where such precious items served as both functional containers for small treasures and symbols of status and artistic patronage. The heart shape adds a universal touch of sentiment to this cultural heirloom, while the varied textures—from polished smooth surfaces to intricate relief work—create an engaging tactile experience. In contemporary settings, this ornate box brings a touch of regal elegance to dressing tables or display shelves, its patina telling stories of both its noble origins and the passing of time.
