Description from the seller
Set of 2 antique/vintage metal storage boxes Silver-plated repoussé box & Brass/copper tobacco box – First half of the 20th century
Description:
Beautiful set of two different antique/vintage metal storage boxes from the first half of the 20th century, each with a unique appearance and characteristic details. 1) Silver-plated jewelry box with maritime relief (repoussé)
Decoration: Stunning, detailed repoussé work on the lid and the sides with mythological dolphins/sea monsters and decorative shell motifs.
Material:
Silver-plated base metal. Over the years, the higher parts have worn the silver layer slightly, creating a beautiful authentic patina where the underlying metal subtly shines through.
Brass/copper storage box (cigar/tobacco box)
Design:
Elegant model with a prominent fluted (bulged) edge around and a hinged lid with a wooden or metal knob, and a hammered top. The box sits on graceful small feet.
Material: Brass/yellow copper with a warm, hammered well-worn patina that matches the age of the object.
Condition and maintenance:
Both objects are in good used vintage condition with normal signs of aging and a beautiful patina. No major dents or defects to the hinges.
Dimensions are:
brass box approx:
15.5x21x5 cm
Weight 689 grams
Silver box approx:
12.5x19.5x5.5
Weight: 584 grams
