AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Very fine large-format handmade antique box fully inlaid with various kinds of wood.
8-sided, somewhat in the Art Deco style. This box probably comes from Belgium. The actual color corresponds to, for example, the first photo.
Even the inside of the lid has an inlaid pattern.
The box has a lock. The key is not present.
Overall in beautiful condition with only light normal signs of use for its age.
Top front left edge has a small chip. This is not visible, however, because the lid covers it. See the photos. Nowhere is any piece missing. Inside there are some faint grain lines in the wood. Inside near the lock some wear.
This box is of wonderful heavy quality. Real craftsmanship.

The dimensions are approximately:

Height: 13 cm
Width: 29 cm
Depth: 23 cm
Weight: 1210 grams (1.21 kg)
