A delightful continental sterling silver chest-shaped pill or snuff box, likely Dutch. The box features fine relief on all sides, with the top and bottom displaying scenes of figures and the sides sporting oval motifs in foliate wreaths.
Marks:
"HHN" etched on the top of the side opposite to the lid.
"VI" etched on the interior of the lid.
"CH" stamped on the interior rim.
Tested sterling, 10.5 dwt.
Condition
Light denting, minor fading to the relief scene on the flat side. A small "tear" to the corner of the lid best seen at the upper right of the second picture, that does not impact its function and does not significantly detract from the overall appearance.
