Description
Renato Salimbeni (Florence, Italy fl.1963-1971) 18k gold and malachite hardstone pill box, c.1970. The Malachite cabochon beautifully cut to present an affect like the ripples in a pond. The thick gold exquisitely chased with a laurel wreath pattern.
Marked “750” and partial maker’s mark kindly confirmed as Renato Salimbeni by his son “Good morning, The pill holder in the photo was certainly made in our company and Renato Salimbeni was our father. It should have been produced around the 1970s… Kind regards, Giorgio Salimbeni.”
