AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Refined large box inlaid with high-quality cabinetmaking, crafted with precious wood essences including mahogany, rosewood, and bois de rose, skillfully combined in an elegant geometric composition with fillets.

The lid is embellished with a central panel inlaid with a diamond-shaped cartouche and initials, a detail typical of a refined production intended for bourgeois or aristocratic clientele, dating back to the 19th century. The surfaces display beautiful flame-like grain patterns, enhanced by the original patina of age.

The structure is solid and well proportioned, with turned feet and natural wood interiors, indicating an object designed not only as a container but also as a statement piece of furniture.

Dimensions:
31 × 21 × 15 cm

Conditions:
General conditions in relation to age. Signs of age are present, with small deficiencies and wear consistent with the period, visible in the photograph. Missing key. No recent invasive interventions, authentic patina.

A box of remarkable elegance and charm, ideal for collectors, classic environments, or high-end interiors.

Photos are an integral part of the description. Guaranteed careful packaging entrusted to industry professionals.
