Antique Medieval Style Carved Nutwood Box w. Heraldic Coat of Arms Knight Armour

About the Item

Stunning, highly decorative and good size Heraldic box from circa 1860. If you are a collector of truly beautiful and rare antique boxes then you will love this mid 19th century, multi-purpose box. The first thing that draws your attention is the stunningly handcarved top with the many, 'raised carvings'. Because of their typical Medieval, rounded designs all these Heraldic carvings truly are a joy to behold. The Heraldic coat of arms, in the center, alone is a true work of art, but to give the lid an even more exclusive look and feel, all corners too are decorated with pure Medieval decorations such as the body armour carving and the Medieval shield & halberd carving. All sides of this box are entirely made and hand carved out of solid nutwood and the left and right side also are decorated. On one side is the mint bow carving and on the other is the arrow holder, with arrows. The depth of all these unique carvings makes the quality and details stand out even more. The entire inside is in mint condition and this mid-1800s antique even comes with the original and perfect working lock and its original antique key. The quality in the Medieval details and the overal balance of the composition mixed with the exceptional patina of the antique walnut is what makes this aesthetically pleasing box a real gem to own and look at. No matter what you will use it for and no matter where you will have it on display, this truly rare Medieval Style gem will never fail to impress.

  • French Medieval Style Silver Jewelry Box, circa 1880
    Located in Miami, FL
    A remarkable intricately designed, handcrafted silver box, circa 1880s. We were told that this box is sterling silver and that the makers mark "M" is that of "M. Mayer". Maurice MAYER was a very prestigious silversmith. Research shows that he was an "Orfèvre de l'Empereur", Napoleon Bonaparte, 1860-1870. The Minerva hallmarks are not visible, may have been rubbed off from use and cleaning. No documentation. This intricately carved box depicts the romantic poem of Le Roman de la Rose (The Romance of the Rose). Comes with the original lock and key. Le Roman de la Rose, begun by Guillaume de Lorris circa 1230 and completed, in a different style, circa 1270-1280, by Jean de Meun, builds on the concept of courtly love found in the poetry of the troubadours. The authors create a complex allegory of the romance between the Lover and the Rose. In the quest to pick the Rose (to achieve the conquest of love), the flower and its attendants represent the Lady and her sentiments while being wooed. In the first part of the poem, written by de Lorris, the Lover recounts his dream, ending with the winning of a kiss from the Lady. In the dream, the Lover discovers a walled garden and gains entrance thanks to a beautiful young woman. He meets Diversion and dancers who represent courtly values such as Beauty and Generosity. A tour of the garden brings him to a beautiful bed of roses by the Fountain of Love...
