This refined Antique French 800 Silver Oval Pill Box, crafted by the distinguished Henin & Cie, is a paragon of Parisian elegance. It bears the hallmark Crab with a stripe, signifying a silver fineness of 800/1000 for small objects, a standard in place since 1838. The box is adorned with an intricate, engraved floral motif, set within a double-lined border, showcasing the artisanal excellence of French silverwork from a bygone era.
Condition : The piece remains in remarkable condition, presenting only minor signs of faint scratches and small dents around the rim of the lid and body.
Attention is drawn to a small bump in the center of the interior lid as shown in the last 2 photos. This slight irregularity does not hinder the box’s operation; it can be felt when opening and closing, yet it opens and shuts without issue. The interior of the lid exhibits some tarnishing, which could be beautifully remedied with a thorough polish to bring back its original luster.
