The body of the box is richly adorned with intricate floral and vine motifs, bordered by beaded edging that adds texture and elegance. Measuring 7.75ʺL × 4.75ʺW × 3ʺH, it offers both visual impact and functional charm.
Produced in the late 19th century, this piece reflects the artistry of Victorian and Edwardian metalwork, where symbolism and craftsmanship were paramount. The lion, a timeless emblem of strength, protection, and nobility, anchors the design with regal presence. The repoussé detailing and ornate scrollwork suggest it may have been used as a vanity box, jewelry casket, or ceremonial keepsake.

Whether styled atop a velvet-lined tray, layered into a moody vignette, or gifted as a meaningful heirloom, this box brings quiet luxury and historical depth to any interior.

Dimensions:
- Length: 7.75ʺ
