Christofle Silver Plated Bonbonnière/Trinket Box

A Christofle silver plated trinket box. Super beautiful and delicate. It was my mother’s and I would never use it despite thinking it’s lovely. I’ve polished it but it has some small scratches on the top and bottom which are hard to capture in photos. They are very light and almost unnoticeable unless you are looking closely. Can also be engraved which would make them much less noticeable. I believe it’s the same one as listed in Net A Porter. Retails from 189 plus shipping/tax. Approx 3 inches wide and 1 inch tall. From website: Christofle's timeless bonbonnière or trinket box will shine beautifully on a vanity table.

Use yours to store hair accessories, jewelry or mementos. Christofle is considered to be one of the World's best and most famous silversmiths. The "bonbonnière" is originally a trinket box. Charles Christofle, a jeweller by training, used to make bonbonnieres, silver boxes that were very popular at the time. They were used to hold confectionery, lozenges or even apothecary pills. These small and light bonbonnieres were designed to be carried in pockets, purses or embroidered bags.
