Antique Bohemian Hand Painted Enamel Amethyst Glass Hinged Jewelry Casket Box
Shipping/Handling: To Be Determined
Insurance: Included in shipping
Price for shipping to USA
A lovely antique 19th century Bohemian Moser enameled jewelry casket or glove box. The glass is a rich, elegant amethyst purple sprinkled throughout will small clusters of hand painted raised enamel florals, in bouquets of pink, orange and blue with gilded accents. Smooth bronze mounts encircle the box with handles on either side festooned in a garland motif. A rounded escutcheon shaped lock sits at the center however the box is lacking the key. The number 10. done in gold gilt is painted along the interior lid and the interior bottom portion, indicating that both sections are matching pieces. What's so unique about this piece is the added touch of four feet, each in the form of a female bust, (very detailed and ornate) possibly decorated in the manner of a Sphinx or Goddess?
The box is in wonderful condition for its age, with light enamel wear and some darkening to the bronze from age. Measures 12" in length, about 4 1/8" in height and about 4" in width.
