Cufflink Box - Sterling Silver & Baccarat Crystal, Minerva Hallmark

Beautiful cufflink box in cut crystal and solid silver. Circular in shape, the box is made of Baccarat crystal, the lid in solid silver with Louis XVI style decoration (Greek frieze), the interior in vermeil (silver gilded with fine gold). Luxury production, where the weight of silver alone - 50g - is the same as for a tumbler. The lid is free of any monogram, the setting bears the Minerva 1st title hallmark and the hallmark of the silversmith Elie Petit (1909-1931). A fine witness to the daily refinement of high society at the beginning of the 20th century. Ideal for storing the everyday objects of a refined man: cufflinks, signet ring, watch and other small intimate objects. Excellent condition, no dents to the silver or accidents to the crystal. Near mint condition. Diameter: 6.7cm Height: 5.5cm Weight of silver: 50g, which makes it a very luxury production: the weight of a silver cup for only a lid
