Silver Pillbox Set With A Turquoise - Ottoman Empire - 19th Century

Trilobed pill box in 900 silver, from the refined craftsmanship of the Ottoman Empire, dating from the 19th century.

This pill or kohl box is entirely handcrafted, both on the lid and on the sides.

Description

The lid is decorated with a floral decoration in relief, enhanced in its center by a turquoise cabochon stone, probably of local origin, set with prongs. A twisted frieze surrounds the main motif, bringing elegance and volume to the composition.
The sides are engraved with stylized floral motifs, typical of Ottoman iconography.
The inside of the box retains a beautiful old patina, with a small hallmark visible on the bottom.
The clasp and hinge are original and in good working order, making it both an aesthetic and functional object.
