Box - Wood, nacre

Elegant rectangular box made of wood, finely decorated with rich inlay work of mother-of-pearl forming geometric and floral motifs. This iconic type of casket from Near Eastern craftsmanship at the end of the 19th century was intended to store jewelry, letters, keepsakes or small precious objects.

The contrast between the warm patina of the wood and the delicate mother-of-pearl inlays gives this piece a refined charm and high decorative quality. This artisanal work testifies to the artisans' know-how.

In good condition, just a few signs of wear.
