Description from the seller
Incredible 19th-century secret-opening jewelry box
How can I describe this pure marvel that truly was a love at first sight, having already bought and sold several of these boxes, it is the first time I come across one from this era?
First you will need to outwit the tricks of this crafty little box and find the key to open it
Once that is done you will discover inside a large circular mirror and two compartments in period blue silk, you will need to tilt these to the sides to access the large chest located underneath
these boxes are today unobtainable in this condition and complete
Note that the upper decoration may be later than the creation of this marvel
An object of curiosity but also a collectible, which will enrich your evenings, challenge your friends and guests
An entire collection of these superb boxes will be put up for sale on the site, remember to follow my seller profile to acquire them
