🔍 Provenance / Maker Notes
This box is marked 830, a silver standard used across Scandinavia (Norway, Denmark, Finland, Sweden) and parts of Germany from the mid-19th to early 20th century. Many pill and snuff boxes of this type were produced in workshops for both domestic and export markets, often with repoussé decoration and gilt interiors. The floral basket motif is a recurring symbol of abundance and prosperity in Victorian and Edwardian decorative arts.
