Bolin Guilloché Enamel and Silver Pill Box

Bolin Guilloché Enamel and Silver Pill Box

Guilloché Enamel and Gilt-Silver Pill Box
Bolin
Produced 1882-1899

This Bolin pill box demonstrates the prestigious Russian house’s skill in guilloché enamel and silver work. The surface is adorned with off-white and pink enamel applied over a finely engine-turned ground. Its hinged lid opens to reveal a mirrored top interior. Complete with its original Bolin fitted case, the box is marked “Bolin” with an 88 zolotnik Moscow assay, dating it to the late 19th century. A rare and complete survival, it reflects the high-quality decorative work that established Bolin as a leading firm in Imperial Russia.

The House of Bolin of St. Petersburg and Moscow served as jeweler to the Russian Imperial Court for over a century. Renowned for high-quality jewelry, silver and decorative objects, the firm exhibited internationally—including at the 1851 Great Exhibition—and became synonymous with refined craftsmanship for Russia’s aristocracy. Bolin’s silver and guilloché enamel objects, such as this pill box, highlight the firm’s exceptional artistry and enduring legacy.
