An Antique Silver Box (77) that features an elegantly crafted hexagonal silver pillbox shown with its hinged lid open to display the craftsmanship of its interior. The lid displays a delicately engraved decorative pattern with curved lines suggesting a stylized swan or bird motif. The piece exhibits the warm patina that develops with age and handling, giving the silver a subtle interplay of tones that enhance its vintage character while highlighting the precision of its geometric form and the detail of its engraving.

 

 

About Artwork: Antique Silver Box 77

Created in 1950, this silver treasure weighs a delicate 12 grams and measures 1.0" across its hexagonal edge with a height of 0.5". The piece exemplifies the prestigious metalworking traditions preserved in Indian households, where silver objects were created not merely as functional items but as expressions of artistry meant to be treasured across generations. The engraved design demonstrates the silversmith's skill in creating decorative motifs that transform a simple container into a miniature work of art. Such personal keepsakes held special significance in Indian families, often used to store small quantities of precious items like sacred powders, jewelry, or medicinal substances. Beyond its practical purpose, this box represents cultural heritage in tangible form, connecting its owners to traditions of craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibility that formed an important part of Indian domestic life.
