Description from the seller
Antique, exclusive French-style box for housing a Napoleon III-era clock from the mid-19th century, crafted in solid ebony and mahogany with exquisite marquetry work, bone inlays, and beveled crystal in the center to view the interior piece. Interior lined in red velvet in very good condition for its age. A true collectible, unique and unreproducible. No restorations and original to the period, with only cleaning to make it shine in all its splendor. A one-of-a-kind piece!
See the photographs to get a better idea of the details that form part of the description.
Dimensions: 7 cm high, 7.5 cm wide, and 9 cm deep.
It will be carefully packed with certified shipping and a tracking number. Note that countries with customs and/or special destinations may require additional information, and shipping costs may be increased. The Balearic Islands will incur an additional surcharge of 15€ compared to mainland Spain.
