AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid lot consisting of two handmade wooden jewelry boxes, finely worked and inlaid, different in shape and decoration but perfectly matched in style and tone.
The larger jewelry box, rectangular in shape, is made of precious Thuya wood, appreciated for its characteristic rich and flamboyant grain. The lid features a refined inlay decoration with woods of different tones and mother-of-pearl inlays, which create elegant points of light on the surface.
Dimensions: about 18 × 13 × 4 cm.
Completing the lot is a second, smaller jewelry box, with a distinctive polygonal shape, characterized by a richly intricate geometric inlay decoration using woods of different tones. The superior motif, elaborate and symmetrical, continues harmoniously along the sides.
The interior is completely lined with red fabric, very well preserved.
Dimensions: about 13 × 8 × 5 cm.
Both pieces are in excellent overall condition, with structure, inlays and hinges well preserved and functioning. They show only slight signs compatible with age and the artisanal nature of the objects.
An elegant and particularly decorative lot, ideal as a jewelry box, decorative object, or collection piece.
Carefully packed and tracked shipping – no low-cost couriers.
