Description from the seller

Elegant jewelry box in inlaid burl wood – 19th century

Refined 19th-century box, crafted with exquisite burr veneer featuring an intense and deep grain, typical of high-end cabinetmaking of the nineteenth century.
The upper surface is embellished with a rich central cartouche-inlaid motif, featuring finely worked foliate elements and fluted borders that enhance its elegance and compositional balance.
The proportions are harmonious and well thought out, with a strong stage presence despite their compact size.
The original patina of time lends great charm and authenticity to the whole, highlighting the grain of the burl wood and the quality of the materials.
Interior lined with original red fabric, featuring a contoured inner mirror, a refined detail that highlights its function as a jewelry case or a container for precious items.
The key is missing, but the lock is present and functioning, a detail that should be reported correctly.
There are slight defects and signs of wear, visible in the photos, consistent with the object's age and such that they do not in any way detract from its beauty, aesthetics, or usability.
An elegant, decorative item, ideal for classic settings, studies, libraries, or interiors with character.
