Casket - polished glass - Boudoir box

This antique French jewelry casket is made of brass with raised repoussé decorations depicting putti and features a lid in thick matted glass. It measures 8 x 5.5 x 6 cm and weighs 125 g.

The frame is gilded brass, finely worked in repoussé in a style typical of 19th-century French boudoir boxes. The sides portray bucolic or mythological scenes with playing putti, set in classical landscapes. The lid is made of thick, molded glass and has a small chip that you can notice in the photos, while the interior is lined in silk with a quilted (capitonnè) technique and is slightly worn from age.

Despite the signs of wear that attest to its history, this piece remains a splendid testament to the past and, at the same time, a precious, decorative, era-worthy collector’s item. In original antique patina.
