Vintage/Antique Metal Jewelry Casket with "The Gleaners" Relief Accent - "T in Swan" Hallmark

An ornate, footed rectangular jewelry casket (trinket box) from the early-to-mid 20th century.
The box features an iconic embossed bas-relief scene on the lid depicting Jean-François Millet's famous 1857 masterpiece, "Les Glaneuses" (The Gleaners), showcasing three women harvesting wheat in a field.

- Exterior Finish: Elegantly finished with a gold-tone brass/bronze patinated plating, giving it a classic antique luster.
- Base: Heavily textured with an ornate, overall baroque/rococo scrollwork pattern designed to hide casting imperfections and provide mechanical grip.
