AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Set of three antique boxes made from noble materials.

Europe – 18th / 19th century

Rare set of three antique collectible boxes, showcasing fine craftsmanship and perfect aesthetic coherence. These objects illustrate the refinement of small luxury necessities and boxes produced in Europe between the 18th and 19th centuries.

Contents of the lot

Oval box made of gold-colored metal and banded agate.
Dimensions: approx. 5.5 × 4.2 cm
Finely crafted gold-colored metal frame, with a uniform antique patina.
Functional hinge.


Round crystal-mounted case
Dimensions: approx. 5.2 × 2.3 cm
Small, thick molded crystal box with a gold-colored mount.
The quality of the crystal, its transparency, and its brilliance evoke the work of the great French crystal works of the 19th century, without formal attribution.
Functional hinge.


Antique rectangular box with a gold frame and translucent natural material.
Dimensions: approximately 6.5 × 3.3 cm
Refined box made from a natural translucent material with a warm blonde hue, mounted in a golden structure.
The fineness of craftsmanship, lightness, and style suggest an ancient production, probably from the 18th century, subject to verification.
Unfortunately, over time, some cracks and missing parts have appeared in places. Carefully look at the photos; it is in fairly good condition compared to the other two.


Era
