Antique Victorian Celluloid Dresser Box

The full portrait of a lady at the piano on this Victorian dresser box is unforgettable. The box measures 7" x 9 1/2" x 3 1/4" tall. Surrounding this beautiful portrait is an embossed, ornate brass/copper-colored frame that adds to the beauty of the box. These highly decorative boxes were made between 1892 and 1915 and were used on ladies' dressers and vanities to hold gloves, perfumes, perhaps a special handkerchief. Sometimes gentlemen used them to store their shaving pieces. This box is in exceptional condition to be over a hundred years old. There is minor wear to one side of the lid rim and very minor loss on one side of the rim. These are not bothersome and can be seen in the photos. The portrait has no wear or loss and is quite lovely. There is wear on the pink silk interior lining as shown in the photos. Original brass hinges and clasp are in excellent condition. A wonderful treasure for one who collects these Victorian beauties or for the one who just loves beautiful things.
