Description from the seller

French opaline glass box with gilded frame – Paris chic – Art Deco

Description
This is Parisian elegance in its purest form.
Deep green opaline glass. Soft, milky. Layered in color.
The light filters through the glass and gives every corner a different tone.

The shape is sleek and well-balanced. Cylindrical. Calm. Certainly.
A gilded metal frame runs all around, with a delicate beaded edge.
Subtle luxury. No excess. Exactly right.

This type of box belonged in French salons and boudoirs.
For powder. Jewelry. Desk objects.
A functional object that also serves a decorative purpose.

Origin and period
France
First half of the 20th century
Most likely years 1920–1935.
The style aligns with late Art Deco and neoclassical Parisian luxury.
No visible signature or markings present.

Material and craftsmanship
Opaline glass in a deep emerald-green tint.
Gold-plated metal frame with bead decoration.
Loose lid with a good fit.
The glass is smooth, polished, and has a clear surface.

Seller's Story

We are Mies and Nuno from Cherry Picking. Crazy about items with character and a soul. What started as a shared love for vintage has grown into a mission: to rescue forgotten pearls from oblivion and give them a second life. From distinctive furniture to stylish finds — everything is carefully selected, refurbished, and offered with a wink. Not perfect, but just right. We scour, search, select, and pass on. Why buy new when it can be more beautiful and sustainable? Cherry Picking stands for: • Vintage with a story • Sustainable, quirky, and stylish • Selected with heart and eye. Our style? Retro with an edge. Think: a touch of Hollywood Regency, a hint of brocante, and always with flair. Everything too beautiful to leave behind ends up here.
