Beautiful vermeil (solid silver gilded with fine gold) cufflink box, circular in shape, decorated with very fine Louis XVI-style chased decoration, the openwork lid revealing a tortoiseshell plate. The interior is also in vermeil. Late 19th century or circa 1900.

The box bears the Minerve 1st title and Henin et Compagnie goldsmith hallmarks.

Our box is a fine example of the high luxury production in the Louis XVI à la Russe style, in vogue with high society in the late 19th century and 1900s. It is not monogrammed. The weight of the silver (62g, equivalent to the weight of a silver kettledrum) also testifies to a very luxurious production.

A fine example of the daily refinement of high society in the late 19th century. Ideal for storing the everyday objects of a refined man: cufflinks, signet ring, watch and other small intimate objects.

Excellent condition, no dents or accidents. Our box is over 100 years old and has remained in almost mint condition.
