Well loved old antique French jewelry or vitrinedisplay box:
~ I am guessing this is from the Napoleon III era - c 1852 - 1870
~ Intact and functioning well
~ Beveled glass with no large scratches or abrasions to note
~ Decorative brass edging holds the glass
~ Elevated by stylized shell curved legs
~ Rose toned original silk lining remains but is fadedand tattered - lends to the character in my opinion
~ Early printed cardboard or paper bottom exterior has basketweave pattern
~ Chateau chic all the way around
~Shouldlast a few hundred more years if the new owner cherishes & takes good care of it asprevious owners have
Ready and waiting for your dresser, display, side table, collection, or gift giving -you will love this box!
*Measurements: 2 1/8" tall (includingthe1/2" ofheightthe legs add) x 3" wide -sideto side x 2 1/4 front to back or deep
*Marks: None that I could find
*Condition: Acceptable vintage condition given the age, rarity, and unique handmade nature. There are a few random missing tiny prongs or brass dropsaroundthe edges/borders. I counted 7 or so, and most are on the bottom of the box. This is very old and not perfectly dead on square or lined up perfectly. Either made that way orworkedit's way ever so slightly askew over the years. Hinge works perfectly and clasp is tension set and functions well - but isn't necessarily even or aligned perfectly either. Lining is obviously shredded- but all the above is part of the charm ofthis old old historic box.
View & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina, and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged. I will do my best to note anything glaring or distracting. Please utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ: Ireserve the right to cancel a transaction and refund your funds in full if shipments to your destination are not insurable and/or trackable. The shippingprice I charge justcovers the fees to ship your package out on my end. You most likely will have additional charges, customs fees, duties, taxes, etc from the delivery office in your region. It is your responsibility to check on these costs beforehand if it is of concern to you. I have no knowledge, control of, nor responsibility for paying those at all. Beadvisedthat you may experience delivery/customs delays, package searches, or misc red tapeissues that are entirely out of my jurisdiction. I pay additional insurance and fees on the postage funds I receive that will not be reflected/listed on your shipping tags. I ship via international priority mail to protect us both - please don't ask for aless expensiverate, as I won't ship any other way. I will not falsify, under value, or list contents as a gift on customs forms as that is both illegal and interferes with the proper insurance amount.
