This Antique Silver Round Keepsake Container features an exquisitely crafted circular silver box with its lid partially opened to reveal a smooth interior compartment. The piece showcases elaborate repoussé and chasing work, with concentric circular patterns adorning the domed lid centered around a stylized floral motif. The cylindrical body displays equally intricate botanical designs with delicate leaves and vines rendered in detailed relief against the silver surface, demonstrating exceptional craftsmanship in its ornate decorative elements.

 

 

About Our Antique Silver Round Keepsake Container

Created in 1950, this compact silver treasure measures 1.25" in diameter and stands 0.75" high, weighing a delicate 18 grams. The piece exemplifies the prestigious metalworking traditions preserved in Indian households, where such personal keepsakes held special significance as both functional objects and cultural artifacts. The intricate designs follow classic Indian silversmithing techniques, with the geometric patterns on the lid and floral motifs on the sides reflecting traditional Indian aesthetic sensibilities. Despite its small size, the box demonstrates remarkable attention to detail in every aspect of its execution, from the precisely formed lid to the carefully articulated decorative elements. In Indian families, such silver containers often served as receptacles for sacred items, cosmetics, or small treasures, functioning as both practical objects and representations of cultural heritage that would be passed down through generations.
