AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A very beautiful antique porte-montre / watch holder or small chest in thick facet-cut glass and brass-gilt mounts, from the Napoleon III period (circa 1890–1910).
Interior with red velvet lining in good condition and a small hook at the top to hang the pocket watch.
At the top, it is elegantly worked with fine flowers.
Small distortion to the door but it closes well.
This is larger than the usual porte-montres.

Dimensions: height approx. 16.5 cm x width approx. 9 cm. Depth approx. 6 cm

In good condition with some normal signs of aging.
The thick facet-cut glass is in good condition, with a small chip on the glass at the top, but not noticeable. See last photo.

Note: the watch is not included, intended for demonstration only.

Please study the photos carefully; they are part of the description.

Will be shipped with track and trace.
