AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Three elegant, handmade Egyptian wooden caskets inlaid with mother-of-pearl in a refined geometric pattern, along with an elegant ashtray. Bought during my trip to Cairo, all objects have remained unused in a drawer, in perfect condition (one still with protective cellophane), while the small box shows signs of wear with missing pieces, having been used as a ring holder in a safe.
But all seven items remain a splendid example of Middle Eastern craftsmanship.
The jewelry box opens to reveal an interior lined with soft red fabric, ideal for rings or bracelets.
The second cigarette box is paired with a lighter (to be refilled), two elegant mouthpieces with similar motifs and texture, and an elegant square ashtray measuring 17 cm.
The third elegant box is still in its original packaging with a special sporty decoration and can work beautifully as:
• Jewelry box
• Decorative jewelry box
• Gift box
• Piece of decorative art
Its timeless design makes it a perfect gift for birthdays, anniversaries, or special occasions.
Measurements: Length 14 cm • Width 11 cm • Height 4 cm
The items will be carefully packed and shipped with trackable delivery — if won and paid after November 4, it will be shipped on November 13 due to forced absence.
