Oriental Sterling Silver Box with Figural Engravings, Handcrafted Persian Design, 18th C. An exquisite Antique Qadjar Oriental silver box, delicately hand-engraved with detailed figural and floral scenes, evoking the opulence of West Asian (Persiann) artistry. Crafted in the 19th century, this circular box features a continuous frieze of courtly musicians and noble figures within arabesque cartouches, surrounded by intricate foliate borders that showcase the exceptional skill of traditional silversmiths. Measuring approximately 6 cm in diameter and weighing about 72 grams, the box’s refined decoration reflects themes of celebration, poetry, and love – central motifs in Persian miniature painting and metalwork. The lid, meticulously etched with a symmetrical medallion composition, enhances its aesthetic balance and visual harmony. Likely made for betel, tobacco, or jewellery storage, this piece embodies both functional and artistic elegance. Its time-worn patina and fine repoussé and niello-style detailing suggest careful handwork rather than machine production, typical of mid-19th-century Oriental craftsmanship. Perfect as a collector’s item or a refined gift, this silver box adds timeless charm and cultural depth to any curated display of Eastern decorative arts. Dimensions: 6 cm Weight: 72 g Origin: Middle East or Persia (19th century) Material: Silver (tested) Antique Persian Qajar Engraved...

Beautiful and rare Gothic Revival treasure box with bronze handle. If you are a collector of antique boxes and/or if you are looking for an extraordinary jewelry box to grace your credenza or side table then this unique and top quality made specimen in the Gothic style could be perfect. Gothic Revival boxes are very hard to find and we have never seen one with such prodigious carvings on all sides. The unique and cat-like dragon gargoyles (with fangs) that look like they are carrying this casket, are just some of the stunningly carved and detailed sculptures that make this antique rarity even more artistic and impressive. Another great feature are the peacock sculptures. In Christianity the peacock is the symbol of purity. Christians believe that once someone has passed their soul rises and goes to heaven. This is why in earlier times Christians would spread the feathers of a peacock over the deceased since it symbolized a pure soul that was immune to corruption. The peacock also represents immortality, resurrection, and the spiritual teachings of Jesus Christ and the Christian church. Have you also noticed the top quality details on both ends of the bronze handle on top? The quality of that ornamental work is of the absolute highest standard also. There are many more incredibly beautiful, hand carved details and together they show that no expense was spared to create one of the most amazing Gothic caskets...
