Description from the seller
Set of 3 antique wooden jewelry boxes – Marquetry, repoussé copper, and carved wood
I am offering this magnificent set, inseparable trio of antique jewelry boxes, presenting varied decorative styles and craftsmanship that is particularly interesting. These characterful cases will appeal to lovers of antique objects, traditional crafts, and vintage decor.
Each box has its own charm, thanks to the diversity of materials, motifs, and finishes. Together they form a beautiful selection of decorative items that can also be used to store jewelry, small accessories, or personal objects.
Composition of the lot
1. Wooden box with a repoussé copper lid
Decorative case featuring a lid adorned with a copper relief-work plaque. The chased motifs and decorative details give it an authentic look and an antique charm.
2. Box with oriental micro-inlay decoration
Beautiful box with fine geometric inlays, with decorative elements evoking mother-of-pearl and bone. Its meticulous decoration recalls the traditions of oriental and Mediterranean marquetry. A particularly interesting piece for lovers of decorative craftsmanship.
3. Small wooden carved box
Small case with a geometric diamond pattern on the lid, enhanced by brass decorative studs. Its sober, traditional style harmoniously complements the other two pieces.
Characteristics

Materials: wood, decorative elements in copper, brass, and inlays with nacreous or osseous appearance
Style: artisanal, oriental, vintage, and traditional

Condition

The hinges and locking mechanisms are stated as functional. Please examine all photographs carefully to appreciate the details, finishes, and aesthetic condition of each piece.
A decorative set full of character
This trio offers a lovely variety of decorative styles and techniques. It will suit a collector of antique boxes as well as a vintage décor enthusiast, artisanal objects, or curiosity cabinets.
