About the Item
There is a fantastical quality to this casket lockbox with its dramatic presentation. It has brass rings with lions' (or wolves) heads and a latch/escutcheon. The size and complexity of the latch suggest that it was designed to keep prying hands away. But it has a very interesting look that many people will like. The style and appearance suggest Continental origins, and appraisers say it was produced in the 18th century or earlier.
The baroque casket is of rectangular section with hinged lid mounted with brass or iron strapping and shaped cast brass escutcheon, the front mounted with two cast brass lion's head mounts with ring pulls, opening to a canted interior. There are carved motifs with an "X" on either end. It has interesting details such as the rivet-like buttons. The little rivets are iron, but the lock and the wolves are not. The metal is rusted on the three little rings that remain on one end and are missing on the other. The complexity of the lock seems to suggest it was used and meant to keep prying hands, fingers and eyes out,
