AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This splendid nineteenth-century stamp box, cast in bronze, rests on four curved Cabriole legs in the Louis XV style. It opens with three evenly spaced slots that were historically used to store stamps. The box’s curved bottom allows the stamps to slide easily out of the box. The back of the box also features two sets of inscriptions: CARPE DIEM, almost certainly the initials of the maker/producer, and a warehouse mark.
