Set of Seven Neoclassical Architettura Lacquer Eggshell Boxes

About the Item

Each box is designed with Greco-Roman neoclassical architecture depicting stone buildings with columns. Each box has a top that opens to storage space.

The 3 square boxes measure from 7.5" up to 14" wide. The round boxes measures from 6-8 inches in diameter. The covered boxes make great storage pieces. Sold as a set of seven from an estate in Bel Air, CA.
