AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A splendid and impressive box from the late 1800s to early 1900s, made of beige-colored leather, with a hand-painted bouquet of flowers and two birds on the top. The sides are decorated with diamonds, within which there are stars and lines.
The true feature that sets this antique box apart from others on the market is its internal tray divided into two sections for jewelry, with a larger compartment underneath for storing other objects.
The interior is made of satin in Bordeaux color.
Important for the measurements: it is 26 cm long, 18 cm wide, and 12 cm high.
A separate discussion is warranted for the painting on the upper part, which resembles embroidery and is composed of a branch of flowers and a circle with two birds in red and yellow colors.
It is in good condition; I wouldn't say excellent because it has its years, but like all my objects, it has always been treated with care.
Only the black card of the base shows signs of aging, demonstrating the authenticity of the object.
Photos are more illustrative than words for describing the box.
It was part of the collection of boxes I found in the family palace, and from the various types, I deduce that my ancestors cared about beauty. Despite it being a wealthy palace, they continued to have objects made with the future in mind, anticipating a division among the children.
A box with various uses, such as a jewelry box, for mail, as furniture decoration on a piece of furniture, or for collectors.
I ship with a private courier and not the postal service because it arrives faster, provides double packaging, and makes communication simpler.
Shipping costs vary depending on whether the destination is in Europe zone one, two (such as Switzerland and the United Kingdom), or three (such as Norway, Malta, Cyprus, and the rest of the world).
The customs duties will be the responsibility of the buyer.
