AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

No reserve price!

Antique Jewelry Box in the Shape of a Grand Piano – Louis XV Style, Late 19th Century or Early 20th Century (c. 1890 – 1910), European Belle Époque period.

Cast bronze with a gold finish (gilded bronze / doré bronze). Outer exterior with a central decorative engraving in a stylized floral motif and a hidden casting number in relief ("504").

Ornamental piece in miniature form of a grand piano resting on three richly chiselled legs. The top lid and the sides feature dense raised relief decoration with French classical motifs, including hanging garlands, ribbons, and rocaille frames with decorative fluting.

Shows natural wear to the gilded patina from age and slight bronze oxidation, giving an authentic antique character.

Seller's Story

Antiques are my enormous passion; all the items I have up for auction were found at antique fairs and from antique dealers mainly in the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original and obviously beautiful. Quality guarantee and very careful shipping of the pieces. ATTENTION: If you are interested in one of my pieces that has a reserve price, please note that I will absolutely not offer it for less than 80% of the reserve value of the piece. And I should also note that if that piece is not sold here on Catawiki, I will sell it at another auction house, so if you’re really interested in any of my pieces, buy it when you see it the first time. Thank you very much
