Stunning Antique Hand Carved Nutwood Black Forest Box with Secret Lock Mechanism
About the Item
Masterly carved and good size, two tone Black Forest jewelry box from circa 1880.
If you are a collector of truly beautiful Black Forest artwork then you will love this 19th century, multi-purpose box. The first thing that draws your attention is the stunning, raised, oval medallion on top of this unique box. It is entirely hand carved out of solid nutwood and the two tones makes the quality and details of the rose flower and branches atop stand out even more. The entire top of this box is remarkably well carved and it is in mint condition. The front and back come with hand carved bird sculptures and the sides come with scrolling branches with three leafs each. This box opens with a secret lever and the fact that there is no lock and key, makes most people think that this box must have a hinging lid. So the drawer opens secretly, but perfectly and to close it, you simply push the drawer against the back and it will be locked again. We will tell the new owner how to open this box. It is simple once you know it. The inside of the drawer too is very beautiful. The drawer comes with a removable top section with four compartments for many pieces of your smaller jewelry (see image 8 & 9). Underneath is the bottom of the drawer and that bottom section too is in perfect condition. The quality in the details and the overall balance of the composition mixed with the warm patina of the antique walnut is what makes this aesthetically pleasing box a real gem to own and look at. If you appreciate this Swiss work of beauty as much as we do then you will love our price. Especially when taken into account that perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days are complimentary.
Maximum width x depth x height: 13.4 x 9.85 x 6.7 inches.
