AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Add a touch of timeless elegance and refinement to your interior with this genuine collector’s piece: a magnificent antique Napoleon III jewelry box on a stand.

Set on a curved, three-legged base adorned with Baroque motifs, the main body features a central cartouche with a flat bow inspired by Louis XVI, flanked by raised floral garlands.

A unique and charming detail: the junction of the stand is embellished with small sculptures of mice in patinated spelter, giving the piece a truly distinctive character.

The interior opens to reveal a sumptuous original lining, entirely upholstered in bright red/magenta satin fabric. The padded lid provides soft, elegant protection for your finest jewelry, rings, or little secrets.

Very good overall condition for its age. The patina of time gives it authentic charm. The interior upholstery is clean, complete, and has retained all its vibrancy. The hinge works perfectly.
