Rosewood box by Ottaviani

Rosewood box decorated with a sterling silver and enamel plaque by the Italian silversmith Ottaviani.
Marked with the “925” stamp, it is sculpted in an abstract and organic pattern representing a stylized bird in motion. The hammered texture adds depth and character to the piece, while the use of blue and turquoise enamel creates a contrast.
The intricate details and interplay of angular and curved forms demonstrate Ottaviani’s expertise in silversmithing and craftsmanship.
