Box - Glass, Bronze - Christian Reliquary Box

Antique French bronze and beveled glass decorative casket / display box, richly adorned with repoussé floral and figural ornamentation. This large-sized handmade piece features an elegant curved beveled glass lid, pierced decorative panels, scrolling motifs, floral garlands, and repeating classical figural scenes in relief, all executed in a highly decorative late 19th century French style. The interior is lined with original velvet fabric.

The box displays a deep antique patina, oxidation, and authentic age wear consistent with long-term use. Its unusually large size and elaborate decorative workmanship make it far more desirable and uncommon than standard smaller examples often found on the market.

A refined and visually impressive collector’s object combining decorative bronze artistry with elegant French craftsmanship, likely dating to the late 19th century.

Condition: good antique condition with visible age patina, oxidation, minor surface wear, small losses, and age-related wear to the interior velvet lining.
Material: bronze, beveled glass, velvet/textile.
