ABOUT PRODUCTID 36237
This filigree box of gilded brass and natural onyx exemplifies luxury desk accessories from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, most likely crafted in England during the late Victorian or Edwardian era. Its compact oval form (4.6 × 4 × 2.2 cm) is distinguished by delicately pierced, lace-like sides that impart a sense of lightness and depth. The hinged lid is set with a thin, polished slab of natural onyx, displaying layered bands in caramel, brown, cream, and subtle gray – the high-gloss finish allows light to pass through, revealing the stone’s organic veining. The matte gold of the brass, softened by a fine, original patina, highlights the antique character, while a twisted rope border around the lid and precise foliate filigree demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship. The box stands on a flat base, without feet or additional hardware. Its proportions are compact and harmonious, with a clear emphasis on the decorative lid. Condition
