Description from the seller
No reserve price!
Jewelry box in marquetry, 19th century (c. 1850–1880, Napoléon III period).
Rectangular box in noble wood (possibly walnut or santos wood), with a lift-top lid. Radial geometric decoration on the top panel and linear moldings on the side faces, entirely executed in marquetry technique (inlays) with contrasting woods (ebony / tulipwood). At the center of the lid and in the corners of the structure, there are circular decorative inlays in bone. It sits on four feet cut as part of the structure. Front with a cutout escutcheon for the lock (no active key).
Normal signs of use and age. Slight wear to the wood patina, small flaws or fissures expected in marquetry, and absence of key. The lock is slightly loose.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
