This generous octagonal jewel box is crafted from thick, hand-cut beveled glass panels and set in an ornate Rococo-style brass framework. Each pane is framed by a decorative ormolu mount, resting elegantly on finely cast gilt feet with floral and scrollwork motifs.

What truly distinguishes this piece is its original, button-tufted silk cushion in a soft celadon tone, a detail often lost to time. This opulent interior evokes the refined taste of the era, ideal for presenting fine rings, keepsakes, or simply as a display-worthy objet or on a bedside table.

In remarkably good condition for its age, this casket captures the romanticism and decorative artistry of 19th-century France. A perfect gift for collectors of French antiques or anyone drawn to the gilded world of la Belle Époque in all its glory. See less
