Distinctive quality and personal service is a must - Large selection of Bridal/Pageant Jewelry ... Layaway Plans Available!
I date this piece around the turn-of-the-century.
It measures 2" wide x 2-3/4" (front to back) x 1-1/8" high, and consists of golden rose gilt over brass.
The lid of the box has a wonderful ribbon pattern with a 1-1/4" framed portrait of a beautiful woman. The lining of this box was almost gone and I could not believe it when I went through my vintage textiles and found a later vintage fabric that was almost an exact match!
When I put the lining in, I took the opportunity to clean the glass and take the picture out for closer examination. I found that it is an original colored drawing, and just exquisitely rendered.
The exterior sides of the heart are beautifully detailed with a repousse pattern of plants and urns.
The bottom of the box is a smooth brass color.
With the exception of the lining, this exquisite little heart box is in excellent original condition.
