A Lovely Antique Italian Micro Mosaic Grand Tour Pill Box featuring an exquisite floral arrangement made from hundreds of tiny glass tesserae. Each piece of glass is meticulously set by hand, forming an elegant and highly detailed composition. Set into a round gilt brass body with ornate repoussé detailing, the ‘snap shut’ lid opens to reveal a gold-toned interior. Likely made in Rome or Venice around the turn of the 20th century, this charming box combines functionality with intricate Old-World craftsmanship.
* A fine souvenir piece from the Italian Grand Tour era.
