This elegant jewelry casket showcases richly mottled genuine tortoiseshell panels framed by finely cast gilt bronze (ormolu) mounts. Raised on graceful foliate feet, the box is adorned with intricate decorative fringe, sculptural corner appliqués, and an exquisite oval beveled mirror flanked by delicate floral ormolu supports, creating the feel of a miniature vanity
Product Condition: Displays small age-related cracks to the genuine tortoiseshell.A few of the decorative brass fringe elements along the lower skirt are missing, as pictured. This is consistent with the piece’s age and does not detract from its overall beauty
