Large marquetry jewelry box or casket, 19th century

About the Item

A fine large marquetry jewelry box : amaranth veneer with brass and mother of pearl inlays ; the inside is upholstered with silk, Napoleon III Parisian production, mid 19th century circa 1850. The marquetry pattern is stylish and sophisticated, the brass parts are finely etched : is an account of luxurious lifestyle in those days. The box is large and allows to store many precious items. The mother of pearl cartouche on top does not bear any monogram or crest : you can engrave initials or a coat of arms to customize the casket. It is in very good condition despite its 170 years old, complete with its original key, the veneer and marquetry and undamaged. We chose to keep the antique silk inside (some stains).
