Cast in gilt metal with flowing floral motifs of water lilies and irises, the design captures the sensual, organic lines characteristic of the era. The domed lid features a sculptural scroll handle, while the base rests on elegant curved feet that enhance its graceful silhouette.

Marked Benedict with the company’s hallmark on the underside, this piece reflects the refined craftsmanship of early American decorative metalwork. The original gilded finish has aged beautifully with a warm patina, revealing touches of time that only add to its authenticity and charm.

Perfect for storing jewelry or keepsakes, or as a decorative accent in a vanity vignette, bookcase, or console display. See less
