Beautiful and unusual Italian card box from the 1950s, combining a finely crafted wooden case with a richly decorated silver panel.
The silver panel features an elaborate three-dimensional composition of playing-card suits — hearts, clubs, diamonds and spades - with contrasting red and black enamel details. The aged silver surface and natural patina beautifully complement the warm wooden frame.
The silver panel is signed "Ottaviani" and bears a small hallmark alongside the signature. The piece has a distinctive character, combining Italian
decorative craftsmanship with an imaginative playing-card design.
A rare and highly decorative vintage object, equally suitable as a collector's piece or as an elegant display object.
