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.

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.
