Charming antique box made from a real natural mother-of-pearl shell mounted in an elegant silver-plated setting.
Its elongated shape evokes a precious seashell, while the mother-of-pearl reveals delicate iridescent reflections with silvery, rosy, and pearly nuances. The setting is adorned with stylized floral decoration and a functional clasp.
Originally intended to hold a rosary, this small box could also house a keepsake, a relic, or a precious jewel.
