This elegant oval casket stands on four decorative feet with richly cast acanthus motifs and features finely detailed scrolling relief along the sides. The hinged lid holds a glass panel with floral embroidery beneath, showcasing delicate hand-stitched flowers in soft pastel tones on a fine mesh background. A charming detail typical of French vanity pieces from the late Napoleon III to the early Art Nouveau era. Inside, the box retains its original gilded interior, giving it a beautiful warm glow. The gilt bronze surface has developed a lovely patina. Condition: Very good antique condition with light surface wear, small glass chips (vey light and only around the edges. Holds firm and hardly noticeable), and a mild wobble on the base (very little). The piece remains firm and beautifully preserved with attractive patina. A fantastic decorative 19th-century French jewelry casket, ideal for collectors or as a romantic décor accent. Dimensions: Height: 4 cm Width: 9.5 cm Depth: 7 cm Please take a good look at the photos, which are an integral part of the description. This lot will be carefully packed so it will get to its new owner exactly as it should.
