This ornate vintage box was handcrafted from wood carved with geometric designs alongside beautifully patinized sterling silver nouveau roux in a floral motif. It has a hinged lid closure and is suitable for storing jewelry, trinkets, keepsakes, or any other type of small item you'd like to store inside. It weighs 1lb 8.9oz and measures approximately H3"xW8"xD6". Probably made during the mid 20th century.
Fair-good overall vintage condition with some flaws, as follows:
1. It was originally intended as a music box, and the musical portion of the box no longer functions at all as far as I can tell.
2. There is also a little surface wear to the wood here and there.
3. The silver roux has a couple of sharp spots where it's coming up from tge wood a little.
All these flaws are consistent with age and use and do not impair the storage function or the attractiveness of the box. They do mean, however, that this box is not an ideal match for the perfectionist collector. Any patina/tarnish present on the silver roux will be left intact for client's choice. Please carefully review all photos prior to making your selection. Any questions, please ask. Thanks for looking!
