This Antique Silver Box (55) features a delicately crafted octagonal silver pillbox with a hinged lid that displays a small monogram or maker's mark stamped on its surface. The piece exhibits a clean, geometric design with precisely formed facets that create subtle light reflections across its polished silver surface. The compact container shows signs of age through its gentle patina and minor surface marks that speak to its history and use, while maintaining the structural integrity of its hinged mechanism and secure closure.

 

 

About Artwork: Antique Silver Box 55

Created in 1950, this silver treasure weighs just 15 grams and measures 1.25" × 1" × 0.5", embodying the refined metalworking traditions preserved in Indian households. The octagonal form demonstrates the silversmith's attention to precision and geometric harmony, with each facet carefully shaped to create a distinctive and elegant profile. Such personal keepsakes held special significance in Indian families, where they might contain sindoor (vermillion powder), small jewelry items, or other precious personal effects. The box showcases classic Indian silversmithing techniques in its construction, particularly in the precise joining of the hinged elements. Beyond its functional purpose, this piece represents the cultural heritage of Indian silver craftsmanship, where even small everyday objects were created with attention to detail and aesthetic sensibility, intended to be passed down through generations as both useful objects and tangible connections to family history.
