AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Napoleon III style jewelry box in burl wood and marquetry, with a padded interior.
Mid to late 19th century, presumed.
Rectangular jewelry box in burl wood veneer with rich amber-brown grain, featuring a lid framed by marquetry in fil wood and fine pale lines.
The central panel is adorned with a patinated metal decoration of floral motifs, scrolling foliage and ribbons, symmetrically arranged around an oval medallion. Blackened borders emphasize the contours.
The interior reveals a padded red-framboise textile lining, a rectangular beveled mirror with cut corners, and several compartments, including two side slots with ribbons and a central cylindrical covered support intended for adornment accessories.
Lock closure, two screwed-on metal hinges.
Approximate dimensions: 22 × 15 × 10 cm.
Weight: 946 g.
Condition: signs of wear, varnish scratches, small veneer losses, notably along the lower rear edge, interior trim showing wear, pulled threads and slight separations. Mirror intact. Key absent or not shown; lock functionality not tested.
Craftsmanship in the Napoleon III style, probably from the second half of the 19th century.
In good condition, with some signs of use inherent to its age.
Elegant and timeless.
