Antique Exceptional Gilt Brass & Beveled Glass Art Box by Alphonse Giroux, Paris

About the Item

Timeless and all handcrafted, Parisian 'display box' from the mid 1800s. If you are looking for an exclusive and very stylish box for yourself or a loved one then this avantgardistic work of beauty from circa 1850 could be flying your way soon. This exceptional antique is made by and marked Alphonse Giroux, who was an important Parisian manufacturer of luxury furniture and accessories. The top quality handcrafted and perfectly plated brass frame has a 24 carat golden color. That beautiful frame is filled with thick and transparent, beveled glass panels that make this box look truly marvelous. This shiny gem will look great, no matter where you decide to use it and/or have it on display. Even with a replaced bottom (there is a relatively modern wooden bottom behind the sheat of silk), this top quality antique box can still be described as museum quality and condition. With some of your colored jewelry inside this Giroux box will become an even more special work of art. If you can already see it on your vanity or dresser then maybe you should be its next custodian. This handcrafted and highly decorative box too is great value for money. 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: 9 x 6.2 x 4.2 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 1000+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.
