AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large antique grand jewelry casket from around 1900 – Hand-carved with mother-of-pearl inlays
For sale is an exceptionally large, handmade casket from the Historicism/Art Nouveau era (approx. 1880–1920). This representative piece impresses with its elaborate relief carving and the rare combination of floral ornamentation and noble inlays.
The lid features a central, masterfully carved rosette motif, flanked by flowing foliate and floral garlands. Three precisely inlaid mother-of-pearl inserts provide elegant light accents and stand nobly against the dark wood.
Special feature: unlike conventional jewellery boxes, this model has a generous, pull-out drawer. This makes the casket an ideal storage place for correspondence, documents, or valuable collectibles.
Material: solid wood (probably walnut or stained noble wood) with authentic, warm patina.
Dimensions: approx. 50 x 28 x 11 cm (W x D x H) – its impressive width makes it a true statement piece for any sideboard or the desk.
The casket is in a very good original condition for its age. The carvings are detailed and crisp, the mother-of-pearl inlays are firmly mounted. An authentic object with history and character.
An ideal piece for lovers of European folk art or as an exclusive decorative object for connoisseurs of antique craftsmanship.
