Elegant wooden vanity case / box with brass inlays – late 19th / early 20th century

Refined late-19th-century vanity case or jewelry box—early 20th century, crafted in precious wood with engraved decorations and hand-applied brass inlays, reflecting an elegant, sober taste typical of the European bourgeoisie between the late Liberty (Art Nouveau) period and the early 20th century.
The lid features a finely incised, symmetrically plant-form decoration, enriched with brass elements, with chamfered corners that lighten its silhouette and enhance its elegance.
The sides are also decorated with stylized floral motifs and brass fillets, crafted with artisanal care.
The interior is original, lined in red velvet, with internal compartments typical of vanity cases and an original contoured mirror affixed to the inside of the lid.
The mirror is intact, an uncommon item with great collectible value.
Original brass hardware.
Functioning lock, missing key (a common occurrence and not detrimental for items of this era).
An item never restored, with authentic patina and normal signs of aging (small encrustations and light wear), which do not at all compromise the beauty, solidity, and overall aesthetic appeal.
Hailing from an ancient residence, it’s a tasteful, elegant, decorative piece—perfect for both collectors and refined interiors.
