I elevated this lovely vintage hand carved Cinnabar box to a One of a Kind by attaching the lovely antique Jet cameo.
The cameo is unusual because it is round. Originally she was a mourning piece and created in England. There are a couple of tiny nicks on the French Jet frame. She looks as though she was carved from Whitby Jet because of the matt and shiny areas. The original c clasp was removed and I carved away some of the center cinnabar to give the brooch a “seat”.
There is a chip to the inside corner which is not visible from the top when closed. (5th picture) And from the inside barely noticeable. It is clean (diagonal across corner) and actually looks like part of the box design. The box closes perfectly.
Brooch is circa 1860-1890. Cinnabar box is Mid-century.
Like you there is only one.
