1993 Italian military commemorative presentation box. This exquisite piece combines fine Italian silversmithing with traditional woodworking, featuring a rich burl wood (radica) base and a solid 800 silver lid topped with a beautifully sculpted dimensional floral medallion.
This box was custom-crafted as an elite, low-volume presentation gift for dignitaries or graduating officers at the prestigious Scuola di Applicazione (The Italian Army School of Application and Military Studies) in Turin, Italy.
Hallmarks & Provenance
The underside of the silver lid features clear, crisp official Italian hallmarks identifying its exact origin:
• Engagement Text: Deeply stamped "SCUOLA DI APPLICAZIONE 1993".
• Purity Mark: 800 oval stamp confirming continental 800-grade solid silver.
• Maker's Mark: ★ 602 AR rectangle stamp. This is the official registry mark for LOAM S.N.C., a now-defunct boutique artisan silversmith workshop operating out of the famous jewelry province of Arezzo, Italy (Tuscany).
