Description from the seller

Vintage Ornate Brass/Zinc Alloy Trinket Jewelry Box - Rococo & Baroque Revival - Mid-20th Century

An elegant and finely detailed vintage jewelry or trinket box, dating from the mid to late 20th century. This footed casket features an impressive heavy-cast metal construction (likely zinc alloy or brass) with a gorgeous antiqued gold-gilt finish.

The box is richly ornamented on all sides. The exterior lid showcases a central floral rosette enclosed within a geometric diamond-hatch cartouche, framed by sweeping scrolls and a thick border of relief-molded foliage and grapevine garlands. The four side panels carry a continuous design of four-petal blossoms on a stippled backdrop, bordered by an upper cross-hatched band. It stands firmly on four beautifully integrated, organic Rococo-style scroll feet.

Upon opening, the inner lid reveals a clean, stamped reverse-side relief pattern featuring matching floral medallions on a finely granulated background. The main compartment is completely lined in its original, vibrant turquoise-green satin/velvet fabric, providing a soft protective cushion for jewelry or small keepsakes. A wonderful collector's piece or functional vanity decor.

* **Overall Condition:** Very good vintage condition, retaining solid structural integrity.
* **Metalwork:** The hinges operate smoothly and the lid closes squarely. The exterior shows a beautiful, authentic aged patina with subtle, minor rubbing to the gilt finish on high-relief edges, highlighting its vintage character. No cracks or deep scratches.
* **Interior Lining:** The original turquoise lining remains intact and vibrant. There is minor, age-appropriate fraying and slight lifting along the upper right inner corner/edges, typical for a piece of this age, which does not impact functionality.

Dimensions : 4.5 cm × 13 cm × 9.5 cm
