A charming vintage sterling silver pillbox featuring a finely hand-painted enameled panel depicting a racehorse and jockey in a pastoral landscape, executed in the English sporting style. The chestnut brown horse is shown in profile, standing in a grassy field beneath a pale sky, while the jockey wears traditional racing silks in green and gold, seated calmly in the saddle.

Though unmarked for country of origin, the box is clearly stamped “STERLING,” indicating likely American or Continental manufacture, 20th C. The enamel panel is delicately domed and bezel-set into the lid. The silver body is plain and rectilinear with a hinged lid that opens smoothly and closes securely.
