Antique Erhard & Söhne German Gilt Brass Jewelry Casket with Cherubs, Early 20th Century
A beautifully detailed antique German jewelry casket attributed to Erhard & Söhne, dating to the early 20th century.
This richly ornamented rectangular casket features an intricate raised-relief design of playful cherubs surrounded by scrolling foliage and elaborate ornamentation. Its contrasting gold-toned and silver-toned metalwork gives the piece exceptional depth and visual interest.
The hinged lid opens to reveal a sumptuous deep red velvet interior, remarkably well preserved and providing a striking contrast to the ornate exterior. The front features a decorative lock plate, and the underside bears a manufacturer's hallmark and "Made in Germany" stamp.
A charming example of early 20th-century German decorative metalwork, equally suited for use as a jewelry box, a keepsake casket or a distinctive decorative accent on a dresser, vanity or tabletop.
Dimensions: 4.9" W × 3.75" D × 2.375" H (including felt pads).
Condition: Excellent antique condition, with minor age-appropriate surface wear and patina. The red velvet interior is exceptionally clean and well preserved. Four protective felt pads have been added to the underside. Original lock is present; key is not included.
