AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A vintage oval jewelry box made of solid bronze or brass, likely dating from the mid-20th century. The box is richly adorned with relief decorations reminiscent of the Napoléon III period or early Art Nouveau. The lid features a characteristic pattern of "godrons" (convex pleats) and small pearls along the edges, crowned with a round knob.
And a heavy solid brass trinket box, often referred to as a "trinket box." The specific design with the overlapping circle-segment side motifs and the geometric floral pattern on the lid is typical of vintage brass décor. Made of brass with a patinated finish. The floral motif on the lid is inspired by traditional Japanese metalwork, comparable to designs from the Meiji period.
Both boxes are in good condition with signs of use appropriate to their age, including scratches and wear, and the red fabric lining has come away in places.
Sizes are: the French oval box 8H x 13W x 8D and weighs 477.5 g. The Asian-style box is 11.5H x 12W x 7D and weighs 482.5 g.
Carefully packaged and insured shipping.
