Description from the seller

Gilded bronze jewelry box in Gothic style with Biblical scenes – early 20th century.

Beautiful antique box of gilded bronze, dating from the 20th century, with refined Gothic finish.

The surface of the box is richly decorated with bas-relief Biblical scenes, set in elegant pointed arches, characteristic of Gothic architecture. The finely carved figures depict characters in historical costumes and decorative motifs reminiscent of medieval religious iconography.

The hinged lid and the sides are adorned with carefully worked figurative panels that give the object high decorative value. The box is equipped with a front lock with a keyhole. The interior is lined with green velvet, suggesting it was used as a jewelry box or a repository for precious items.

Well packed and shipped with a tracking and tracing code.
