Description from the seller

Ancient bronze box with rich decoration – Putti and ornamental motifs – Europe, 20th century

Description
Very beautiful decorative bronze box, finely crafted, rectangular in shape, adorned with relief motifs depicting putti, scrolls, and decorative elements inspired by classical motifs. The entire piece demonstrates meticulous decorative work, with a harmonious composition and well-defined relief on all sides.

The lid is hinged with a functional hinge and features a small figurative element in bronze serving as a grip, adding a sculptural and elegant touch to the object. The interior is lined with red velvet, typical of decorative boxes intended to hold small precious objects, jewelry, or souvenirs.
