Description from the seller
Napoleon III-era 19th-century jewelry box in gilded brass and beveled glass.

The interior is lined with blue fabric upholstery forming an elegant cushion intended to hold jewelry or small precious objects.
The box rests on four small ball feet, giving it a handsome decorative presence.
A refined object that can serve as a jewelry box, a trinket casket, or a salon candy dish.
