This exquisite antique sterling silver pillbox was crafted by the renowned American silversmiths Dominick & Haff, and bears their hallmark along with the date 1891 on the underside. A beautiful example of late 19th-century American silver artistry, this elegant piece combines refined craftsmanship with intricate decorative design.
The rectangular pillbox features gently rounded edges and a fully removable fitted lid. Both the lid and sides are richly adorned in repoussé floral and scroll motifs, showcasing Dominick & Haff’s exceptional attention to detail. The raised floral patterns—accented by graceful acanthus scrolls—are highlighted with an oxidized patina to emphasize depth and texture.
The interior is smooth, polished silver, complementing the ornate exterior. The lid fits neatly over the base, revealing precise silversmithing typical of Dominick & Haff’s high standards of quality.
