SILVER CELLO BOX WITH BAS-RELIEF. S.XIX

Description:
- Beautiful box in the shape of a cello, made of silver, and with a beautiful bas-relief.
- Probably made by means of a die, as the two parts of the box are the same.
- The cello has a very meticulous workmanship, the four strings are kept whole, although two of them are somewhat bent.
- The piece is made taking care of the smallest detail, making an exact copy of a cello.
- The inside is gilded.
- The bas-relief is composed of several children picking fruit from a tree, the rest of the case is decorated with floral motifs. Modernist.
- It has two contrasts on one side of the flap of the lid, probably the contrasts of the silver. On the back, next to the child picking fruit from the tree, there is a stamp with three initials, 'SHS' with decorative elements.
- Whether the object has a hallmark, mark or contrast is of great importance in order to be able to identify data such as its maker, the place where it was made and other details.

Conservation and Damage:
- The preservation of the box is very good.
- It is complete and in perfect condition.
- The gears work perfectly. It retains a beautiful period patina.
