AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Exceptional rectangular jewelry safe (freight) of European antique manufacture (Baccarat-style from the 19th / early 20th century). The piece is entirely crafted in thick transparent clear crystal with a rich and deep geometric faceting, featuring cut star motifs (American Brilliant or hobstar style), which create a prismatic effect and reflect light intensely. The bottom base also features a star-faceted pattern, giving the piece a luminosity and unique geometric reflections when exposed to light.
An elegant mounting in gilded bronze chased along the clasp and base. The front pressure-fitted snap lock stands out. The whole rests on four expressive feet, giving it a sumptuous and refined presence.
Technical Details:
Material: Faceted crystal and brass structure.
Style/Epoch: Late 19th century / Early 20th century (Napoleon III Style / Romantic Art).
Format: Rectangular, with faceted lid
Condition:
The piece is in very good general condition considering its age. The crystal maintains excellent brilliance and transparency. The bronze assembly shows a lovely natural patina of time, with no evident structural misalignments. Slight historical wear.
Height: 13 cm
Width: 9/8.5 cm
Shipping and customs costs will be borne by the buyer via registered mail.
