Antique Vietnamese Solid Silver Octagonal Box With Deer Repoussé, Dynastie Nguyễn

A fine Vietnamese solid silver octagonal box, dating to circa 1890–1920 and likely produced in the Huế region.

The lid is decorated in raised repoussé with a graceful deer beneath flowering branches, a motif linked in Vietnamese decorative arts with longevity and tranquillity. The eight sides each bear floral panels worked in repoussé against a textured punch-ground, with a narrow band of bead-like motifs running around the upper section.

Handcrafted in high-grade silver, the box has a well-fitted hinged lid and displays the traditional workmanship associated with central Vietnamese silversmiths at the turn of the century.
