This elegant jewelry casket features a stunning burl wood veneer, showcasing a rich, swirling grain pattern and a deep honey-amber patina. The box is designed with a distinctive convex, bowed front and sits gracefully on four brass ball feet. The lid is topped with a raised rectangular panel, adding a tiered, architectural element to its classic silhouette.

The interior is as impressive as the exterior, fully lined in a vintage red damask fabric featuring a sophisticated ogee and floral motif. It includes a removable lift-out tray with three compartments, including a center section specifically designed with padded rolls for rings or cufflinks. Below the tray, a spacious main compartment offers ample storage for larger pieces. The front is accented with an oval brass escutcheon, though please note that a key is not included.

Dimensions:

  • Height: 6 inches

  • Length: 13 inches

  • Width: 7 inches

Condition: Good vintage condition with minor surface wear consistent with age, including light scuffs and small nicks to the veneer. The interior fabric remains vibrant and well-preserved.
