Rare antique French embossed leather on wooden sewing or jewelry box with a yellow moiré lining and a silverplated engraving picture plaque on the lid
Early 1900s
Sizes : 3 inches high (7.5cm), 8.2 inches wide (20.5cm) and 6 inches deep (15cm)
In a vintage condition, as shown on the pictures: the lining has some stains, some marks, slight loss and wear to the leather of the box , the bottom of the box shows wear, 2 splits in the wood in the corners on the backside of the box, this does not detract from the beauty of this rare box
The box is made of wood, covered with a camel brown embossed leather
The embossed design on the leather is in blak and gold tone
It has a lock on the front with a key
On top of the box there is a silverplated plaque with an engraving called "Pastorale" and signed FB & Cie
The engraving is a famous engraving. It represents ladies and a gentleman with sheep, an angel cherub fountain, bird cage etc
The more you look, the more you see
The interior of the box has yellow moiré lining
These sewing / jewelry or keepsake boxes with a silverplate plaque are rare!
Much prettier in reality than on the pictures, believe me!
Makes a perfect gift
