Antique c1910 Solid Silver 935 Engine Turned Pill Box Scrolling Foliage Border

A refined early 20th century solid silver pill box of rectangular form, dating to around c1910 and bearing a 935 silver standard mark, indicating continental European manufacture rather than British assay.

The lid is decorated with a finely executed engine turned ground, creating a tight, shimmering pattern that catches the light beautifully. This is framed by a delicate raised border of scrolling foliage, adding a subtle decorative contrast while retaining an overall restrained and elegant aesthetic typical of the period.

The box is neatly proportioned with gently rounded edges and a low profile, making it both tactile and practical. The hinged lid opens cleanly to reveal a plain silver interior, originally intended for pills or small personal items.

The 935 standard is slightly higher than the more common sterling 925, and is often associated with quality continental silver from regions such as Austria or Germany during the late 19th and early 20th century.

The piece remains in good antique condition with light surface wear consistent with age and use. The hinge is sound and functions well, the lid closes neatly, and the decoration remains crisp. There is a small area of wear to the front edge, as shown, but overall it presents as a clean and attractive example.

A compact and elegant piece of early 20th century silver, combining practical use with understated decorative appeal.
