Description from the seller

Set of 3 Vintage Handcrafted Wooden Nesting Boxes with Brass Inlay - Butterfly Motif

An elegant set of three vintage nesting boxes (trinket/jewelry boxes) crafted from high-quality solid hardwood (likely Sheesham/Rosewood). The boxes are designed to fit perfectly inside one another, showcasing exquisite traditional craftsmanship.

Each lid features a beautiful and progressive brass inlay design depicting a botanical and butterfly motif. The central wooden sections are bordered by a wavy, scalloped brass frame and reinforced brass corners that add both structural integrity and a refined aesthetic contrast.

The interiors are lined with a soft, vibrant reddish-orange velvet fabric, ideal for protecting jewelry, coins, or small collectibles. The boxes retain their original brass hinges and showcase a wonderful natural patina on the metal, emphasizing their vintage character.

Good vintage condition with minor signs of age and wear consistent with use. The wood grain is rich and well-preserved. The brass elements show a genuine aged patina, which can be polished by the new owner if a brighter finish is preferred. No structural damage or missing inlay parts.

Dimensions :
- Large Box : H : 6.5 cm ; L : 18 cm ; l : 12.5 cm
- Medium Box : H : 5 cm ; L : 14 cm ; l : 9.5 cm
- Small Box : H : 3 cm ; L : 11.5 cm ; l : 6 cm

- Material: Solid Hardwood (Sheesham), Brass, Velvet
- Era: Mid to Late 20th Century
- Technique: Marquetry / Brass Inlay / Hand-carved
