Description from the seller

An extraordinarily impressive jewelry/inn box, crafted in precious mahogany with refined ebony inserts and contrasting noble woods, dating from the late 19th century. A piece that perfectly embodies the period’s lacquering taste, where material quality and artisanal precision blend into a harmonious and timeless balance.
The dimensions — 28 x 19 x 11 cm — make it proportionate and versatile, ideal as a jewelry box, desk casket, or elegant display container. The mahogany, with its warm, deep grain, beautifully dialogues with the ebony inserts, creating a refined color play typical of high-end productions from the late 1800s.
The construction appears solid and well preserved, with a patina consistent with its age and signs of wear that attest to its authenticity without compromising its aesthetics. Internally it presents clean and harmonious. The key is missing, but the lock is present; a common detail in objects of this era and easily integrated by a careful collector.
A piece of classic taste, perfect for elegant environments or for anyone wishing to insert an authentic antique element into a contemporary setting.

The photos are an integral part of the description. Guaranteed careful packaging entrusted to industry professionals.
