This is a beautiful small Italian engraved silver box. Marked inside with 800 stamp, Made in Italy, the number "4" inside of the lid and the number "7" inside the of the bottom. The ornate engraving covers the entire exterior of the box including the hinge, the top turned up lip of the lid and the thumb rest protruding from the bottom edge.

As the interior of the piece is gold plated and in fine condition, it seems this piece probably held ladies powder as a mini compact or was possibly a pill box.

The subject of the enamel painting is three lovely women relaxing under trees. The three collectively are wearing red, yellow and blue fancy dresses. One of the ladies is showing a bare shoulder. One is playing the flute, the other holding some sort of horn and the third appears to be fanning herself.

Condition: Wonderful patina on the silver. Hinge is in excellent condition, lid opens and shuts securely. Numerous surface scratches to the enamel painting. Interior gold is in fine condition.
