About the Item

An elegant late 19th-century French dome-top box, made circa 1900 and constructed from beautifully burled amboyna wood. Renowned for its striking grain and warm, glowing patina, the wood is handsomely complemented by ebonized edging that outlines the arched silhouette with crisp sophistication. Petite in scale yet charismatic in design, the piece retains its original working lock and a delicately shaped key, underscoring its authenticity and historical charm. The interior is clean and well-preserved, making it ideal for storing personal treasures, jewelry, or stationery. A beautiful example of French decorative craftsmanship, this jewel-box-scaled piece adds warmth and sophistication to both traditional and modern interiors!
