Antique Victorian French Jewelry Casket Box Robin's Egg Blue Beads

Collectibles : Vanity Items

 

This lovely little jewelry casket box is singed Made in France as shown. The beveled glass is in fine clear condition. The dear little cushion nestled inside appears to be original to the item, and those precious little beads inside are blue Robins Egg blue glass beads sewn into each tuft of the cushion, and are original to the item ( could be opaline glass beads ). Although my camera shows little dust balls on the cushion, the cushion is clean with no tears or stains. The hinge has a little bend, however it is in strong condition. A little verdigris as shown on one of the legs. A scrape to the bottom panel of the item probably created by someone removing a tag ? This little item is 3 1/2 inches long , 2 1/4 inches tall , 2 1/4 inches wide....very sweet..a fragile dainty little item that has survived the years well...the beveled glass has the slightest little flea bite on the edges and only a few that cannot be seen with the naked eye. This wonderful little gem is very unusual due to the Opaline glass beads, a wonderful touch to a wonderful treasure. From me to you, the sweet beauty of blue just for you
